PERIODICAL MANAGER SYSTEM

Using the latest Windows technology, PERIODICALS MANAGER SYSTEM makes it possible for every library, from the smallest to the largest, to automate serials management.

PERIODICAL MANAGER SYSTEM is an easy and efficient way to manage all library subscriptions. Enter magazine titles, add issues as they arrive, enter staff and route magazines as they arrive. That’s it. Simple, fast, efficient and affordable.

Point & Click screens for easy access to entering magazines, issues, supplements, claims, printing, searching, routing, etc. Program handles all subscriptions from dailies to weeklies to seasonals.

Main menu options with drop down menus and shortcut buttons that conform to standard Windows programming, make access even faster. Let’s take a look at the program and provide a better sense of what features you can expect from PERIODICAL MANAGER:

  • Magazines: Drop down menu features – add title, edit, search, print, more
  • Issues: Drop down features – add, edit, print, print missing issues, more
  • Supplements: Yes, even supplement maintenance is included
  • People: Add, edit, search, delete, print, more
  • Routing: Handle all routing procedures –route each periodical separately (or individually) AND MORE!!

Data management and evaluation: More flexible and easier to use than ever. Enter data and create various reports. Create lists of magazines, employees, employees receiving magazines, magazines being received by employees. Use these lists to evaluate magazine subscriptions. Do you need another copy of American Banker? Are two copies of Time enough or too many? Does it pay to get Tennis for only one reader?

Routing: Each magazine may be routed to different people and in different order. Joe can head the list for Newsweek and be somewhere in the middle for Fortune. Ellen may head the list for Ad Age, yet be at the bottom for ABA Report. Adding new people and deleting those who leave is done with the click of the mouse, removing them from all routing lists at the same time. Checking in an issue clears the way to printing a routing slip for that title at the same time.

Table of Contents? If you prefer to route the Table of Contents and not the entire magazine, this program will do that as well. Use it the same way and simply send the Table of Contents to the same lists. Message blanks at the top and bottom of the routing slip allow you to ask people to check list or call for a specific article shown in the Table of Contents.

No Routing? If you currently do not route your serials, use that portion of the program to enter all employees, and create an outstanding employee list with both departments and telephone numbers.

Ease of installation and use make it easy for even the newest computer user to install and benefit from this program. Available in both single user and network versions which makes it convenient to enter data, search, and print from various locations.
