What We Do

The Serials Receiving staff check-in online and process serials received on standing orders, gifts and exchanges from vendors and suppliers in many different languages for all SUL locations. They produce claims for missing issues, initiate and respond to supplier correspondence, and monitor standing orders and subscriptions to identify lapses and receipt problems.

Brigitte Burnham is the Serials Receiving Unit Operations Manager and is responsible for daily operation of the unit, including problem solving and overseeing of mail opening and processing. You can contact Brigitte with general questions about serials receiving and the functions of the unit.

For claiming missing issues, questions about receipt of individual issues or if you have questions regarding specific titles on subscription, please consult the Serials Contacts list.

If you want to place an order for Serials or Government Documents, contact Xan Arch (operations manager for Ordering Services ) with general questions.

Contact Linh Chang (head of Serials Access & Maintenance) for questions about serial records and control records, MARC holdings, title changes, and ceases and for any questions related to Government Document Serials.
