Cataloging+of+Periodicals

=Cataloging of Periodicals= The simplest cataloging is of titles that are already in your collection or on Alliance Plus. Before doing this the book needs a barcode. 1. Open up Cataloging 2. Click on Tools => data sources. 3. Make sure there is a check mark beside Local Database AND Alliance Plus and make sure that Alliance Plus Online is displayed in the small window. 4. Click on Save. Once this is done you will not have to repeat steps 2-4 unless you wish to make changes. 5. Type in the title of the magazine. 6. Click on the word Title. 7. Double click on the correct title. 8. Click on Add copy 9. Click on Yes. This automatically copies everything except for the barcode number. 10. Type in the correct barcode number 11. Change the description to show the correct issue (month and year) 12. Click on Save.

Practical Suggestion:
I put a check mark in the lower corner of the barcode sticker when the item is cataloged. This saves me from trying to catalog it later and finding that I had already done it!!!
