Predicting New Items
Future serials items are predicted out based on a prediction pattern set up in Alma. Expanding from the prediction pattern is an on-going process as Alma will only predict a years worth of material. When the end of the predicted items is near the Technical Services Specialist needs to go to each individual titles record to predict more items.
- Search for the title in the repository.
- Click on Periodicals. This opens the Record View. Click Edit.
- Click on the binocular icon next to the MARC 853 field. The Predicting Items window pops up.
