1972 computing - look out!

R says:
see, I looked for it yesterday and it wasn't there, and I wanted to see if we had it because Marie gave me an issue that was a gift, and even though holdings says we don't have it there's an item record for a duplicate copy
R says:
and it had a repo flag in it but Paul says it's not at the repo either
R says:
thanks for checking anyway
kelsie is here says:
hell, lots of titles were cancelled a while back and are still being rec'd for free (even though we paid for them before)
kelsie is here says:
its not unusual
kelsie is here says:
many go thru acquisitions.
R says:
the issue is from 1972
kelsie is here says:
wtf?
kelsie is here says:
did you want me to check for bound copies?
R says:
someone donated their copy to the Library and Acq thought we didn't have it because it wasn't in holdings
kelsie is here says:
oh
R says:
hmm, I don't think any are bound because each issue has an item record
kelsie is here says:
*shrugs* weird
R says:
maybe someone marked them with the wrong call number
kelsie is here says:
so we used to carry it but don't now...and its not bound...
R says:
the last time someone messed with the record was in 2005
kelsie is here says:
oh
kelsie is here says:
does it have a number?
R says:
if Acq had thought to check the item records instead of the holdings (because some of the older things are not in holdings) they would have seen there was already an item record for that issue
R says:
and it would have been their problem inatead of mine
kelsie is here says:
...
kelsie is here says:
*laughs*
R says:
instead
R says:
I think it's 1972 no.1
kelsie is here says:
i still dont get why it went to you anyways.
R says:
it's on the problems periodicals shelf if you want to see what it looks like
kelsie is here says:
i saw
R says:
I have to bind it, that's why it came to me
kelsie is here says:
ok
R says:
but if we alreayd have a copy then we don't need this one
kelsie is here says:
wouldnt it need to go to cataloging first or something....yeah
kelsie is here says:
maybe we have two copies already? hahahaha
R says:
we do have another copy in the Ga Room
kelsie is here says:
saw that
R says:
hmm, maybe someone accidentally transferred the stacks copies to the Ga Room
kelsie is here says:
they may have only 1971
R says:
I should check
kelsie is here says:
the 1972 - 1 copy is definately here in the stacks ^^;
R says:
ok, none of the missing ones are up there
kelsie is here says:
over at the ga room?
R says:
yeah
kelsie is here says:
the one here in the office is in pretty shitty shape
R says:
lol
kelsie is here says:
heh
kelsie is here says:
i'm grumpy at them cause they fell on my head
kelsie is here says:
but then i was a dumb ass and didn't grab a step up.
R says:
wait, you found a copy in stacks?
kelsie is here says:
yeah
kelsie is here says:
along with all its evil buddies
R says:
oh good, so they were there after all
kelsie is here says:
yeah, it wasn 't YOUR head.
R says:
ok, that solves that
R says:
thanks for checking for me!
kelsie is here says:
sure np
