| Patrons: |

- Assist patrons to locate current issues of periodicals. Assist with search for missing issues of periodicals. Order replacement pages and in some cases replacement issues for periodicals.
- Route periodicals to library faculty and staff and other faculty members within the Dupré Library building. We will route all job-related periodicals for a short period of time ideally not to exceed two to three days per person. We do not route popular and high demand magazines, annuals, reference works, etc.
- Hold single issues and notify faculty members who need them for research or for exceptional emergency. This is a very rare occurrence and we obtain approval from the Library Director to perform this. Example: A vice-president needing articles or a magazine immediately.
- Retain the two most recent issues of The Chronicle of Higher Education and all current issues of ARTSEARCH at the Serials window. Patrons must leave a form of identification at the window while they use the above items. Either current UL ID card or driver's license is acceptable.
- Give assistance via phone about UL periodical subscriptions, publishers addresses, prices, status (delayed publication, suspended, etc.) to all patrons.
- Prepare reports for Academic Departments concerning serials subscriptions, cancellations, price increases, etc. Will assist faculty members with grant proposals if serials information is required.
- Research title changes, frequency changes, missing bound volumes.
- Maintain accurate records of serials receipts. Maintain bindery records
- We answer directional and serials related questions at the Serials window-directions to a particular person, other departments. Give brief instructions about iLink (how to use it). Lend Periodicals directories for use at the window (Ulrich's & Ebsco). Instructions as to where call numbers can be found in stacks.
