[MLOSC.12392] if non received the journal aftersent subscription
by MN Seetharaman 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

Dear professional colleagues, In response to the messages posted in the forum re. non-receipt of journals issues, I wish to share my experience as the former Head of Library in the National Aerospace Laboratories, Bangalore, and later in IIT Madras. 1. First of all the systems and procedures for journal subscriptions should be so designed as to ensure that the institution does not suffer any loss financially on account of non-receipt of issues and that the bound volumes of journals are complete in all respects with all the issues in tact, obviating complaints from the users about the missing issues in the bound volumes. If bound volumes are found to be incomplete at a later point of time, the libraries would be helpless and can no nothing in the matter. 2. For subscribing journals published by scholarly societies and professional associations which have students/institutional membership scheme, it is better to enlist the library or the institution as the institutional member by paying the prescribed annual membership fee. Such a membership will ensure that the library not only gets the journal issues in time but also at concessional subscription rates, if any, offered to members. Even if one or two issues are missing during transit, the society/association will make good the missing issues without grumbling. An additional benefit of the membership scheme will be that the library will get regularly all announcements about new books, monographs, conference proceedings etc. published by the society/association and can order selected titles at membership rates. 3. For subscribing journals published by commercial publishers, we at NAL used to deal with the publishers directly rather than through any subscription agents. Now a days, when foreign exchange is no longer a problem, it is easy to get a proforma invoice from the publishers and then obtain a bank draft in foreign currency in favour of the publishers from any scheduled bank. 4. While sending the bank draft to the society/association/publishers, two copies of the covering letter may be mailed with the request that the publishers should record their acknowledgement for receipt of payment in the second copy of the covering letter and return it to the library for record. 5. However, if a library has to use the services of a local subscription agent for whateve reasons, the following procedures could be followed: a. continue with the existing practice followed by many libraries in asking the subscription agent to make advance payment and then claim reimbursement after producing proof of remittance. b. obtain a bank gurantee from the agent as is being done by many libraries c. one additional measure of safeguard can be taken by the library. As and when the agent submits proof of remittance to the publishers, the library must send a documentary copy of the proof of remittance to the publishers and ask them to acknowledge receipt of payment and ensure that any request for the cancellation of the subscription subsequently by the agent should not be agreed to without the prior knowledge and consent of the library 4. All libraries may be maintaining either a computer-based or manual Journal Kardex System for entering the details of issues received and noting down the details of missing issues for follow-up action. The Kardex sheet should be well designed so as to include the following basic information: ===================================================================================================== ABSTRACT OF BASIC INFORMATION 1. Title of Journal. 2. Frequency: 3. Name& Address of Publisher 4. Mode of Delivery (Air/Airfreight/Sea)5. Subscription details: a. Year: ....... b. Vol. No. ------- c. No. of Issues ----- d. Payment details : Cheque/Draft No. --- Date ----- Amount ------ e. Sent to : Publisher/Agent under letter No. ------ date ------ f. Whether receipt of payment acknowledged : Letter No. Date ---- DETAILS OF ISSUES RECEIVED Vol.No. Issue No. Publication Due date Actual date Reminders Initials Remarks Date for receipt of receipt issued i/c of (Date of journals sec. issue) (Add more headings, as necessary) ======================================================================================================== 5. The Kardex must be checked at least once every week (say, every Monday) so that reminders indicating payment details can be issued directly to publishers (with copies to agents) in time to pre-empt the publishers in saying that spare issues are not available because of delays in claiming. 6. Based on actual experience, the systems and procedures may be changed periodically with suitable improvements, as required. 7. This has been my experience in NAL/IIT Madras. May be other libraries are following a better system. The point is whatever be the system that is followed, the end result should be that libraries actually receive all issues of journals subscribed to and paid for.
