Configuring serials preferences
Koha's Serials module is used to manage subscriptions to periodicals. The module
is used to:
Create subscriptions with start dates and frequencies
Receive issues when they arrive at the library
Track missing or late issues
Track renewals of subscription
Generate claim letters for missing or late issues
Maintain routing lists to notify specific patrons when new issues are
received at the library
Like Acquisitions, relatively fewer libraries use this simple module, and there are
fewer system preferences here as well.
