-====Serials Discard Decision File==== 
  
-The Library occasionally receives unsolicited gifts, sample serial issues, or other serials issues by U.S. Mail, for which there seem to be no record in our online catalog. When an unsolicited gift is received and the Library'​s Gift Librarian (Jim Kelly) or a Library Selector decides it should be discarded and not added to the collection: 
- 
-Search the online catalog via Title Keyword search(Not Journal Title Keyword search) for: 
- 
-Discard Decision File 
- 
-You will note that your search yields 69 entries, some of which indicate a portion of the alphabet covered by the record. (Example: DISCARD DECISION FILE [AG-AL].  ​ 
- 
-Use the alphabetical entries. The other entries are old ones that migrated from Innopac. 
- 
-Open the catalog record, and add your title in the correct alphabetic location: 
- 
-246 00 [subfield a] Ag illustrated [subfield h] (discard per P.Stern, 2009) 
- 
-**246 00 [subfield a] AgBioResearch [subfield h] (discard per P. Stern, 2014)** 
- 
-246 00 [subfield a] Age and sex of migrants (United Nations wall chart) [subfield h](discard per LHB, 2014) 
- 
-noting the decision to discard (or other instructions as apply) the librarian who made the decision and the date). 
- 
-Be sure to Update (i.e., save) the record.

-3. Check OCLC WorldCat to see if the issue is a title change for a title we own. If it is, close out the old title and catalog the new title. 
- 
-4. If none of the above apply, fill out an Unsolicited Materials Decision Slip (kept by Diana Pecunas) and send to Jim Kelly (or the appropriate selector, if you know that) to decide if the unsolicited gift should be kept. 
- 
-5. Check with Acquisitions to see if it is a newly ordered title. Follow your intuition on this - there should be a record in the online catalog if the title is on order, but check if you don't see a record and you think someone might have forgotten to create one.  
- 
-6. When the Unsolicited Materials Decision Slip is returned, follow the instructions to either catalog or put in the Discard Decision File.
