We are using SirsiDynix. I have not checked with any an ILS user group because I am thinking in terms of Excel or Access...not our ILS. Maybe wrong train of thought. A little more info: we do not create order records or purchase orders for these materials. They basically arrive on our doorstep. When they arrive we update the excel sheet and most are cataloged in house (this used to be different but too much to get into here). Some are added to the same bib record as a new edition (2000, 2001, 2002 all on record) and some are given their own bib record.
Dynix does have a Serials module, but our Periodicals department uses it and I do not know if our items should mix.
Thanks again!

Subject: Keeping track of standing orders
Hi Todd,
We are able to track information about Standing Orders relatively easily within our LIS. We use Innovative (Millennium) and can set up codes within check in and order records that allow us to identify subsets of continuations and even subgroups within funds.
Is there no way for you to do this in SIRSI (I checked your website / catalog online)?
Have you checked with your SIRSI users group?
Good luck.
Don
