But the new WorldCat Local catalog now shows the volumes, years and call numbers for our print/microfilm/physical journals/magazines/newspapers/serials.
For example: The Journal of the American Dietetic Association - click INTO the title then scroll down the worldcat record. Below the links into online access, under find a copy, you'll see volumes, years, and call numbers for the print version.
BUT if you're a hard-core library researcher, you might wonder why UNCG, which boasts an awesome nutrition dept with many vibrant programs, has no current issues of the flagship publication Journal of the American Dietetic Association.
This journal has CHANGED NAMES. The new catalog and journals linking system don't know about journal title changes.
So if you're not finding a journal or newspaper or magazine that you've searched by title in the new systems, please consider the possibility that it has changed names. Those pesky serials do that a lot. A whole lot. Wow, the changes that do happen with serials titles.
A happy ending: we do have current access to the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (used to be the Journal of the American Dietetic Association)
As ever, news and announcements about the new WorldCat Catalog can be found in Terry's blog: http://uncgworldcatlocal.blogspot.com
I'm skipping a demo so that I can put some of this info to the WorldCat Libguides:
- WorldCat Local/New Search (for patrons)
- WorldCat Local for Library Staff (private guide)
