Hi Everyone,
You might have already noticed an oddity in how items are displayed in MNCAT, items are displaying in chronological order starting with the oldest volume on. This was the result of a bug in an Aleph service pack that was applied over the weekend. LEO reported this problem to Ex Libris when they were testing the service pack, and went ahead with the service pack because of a number of fixes/upgrades for ILL and acquisitions. Ex Libris notified LEO yesterday afternoon that the fix for the item display will not be available until the next service pack, which may not be for another three months since they are issued quarterly.
This display issue may not be a hindrance for some titles, but for the long runs that we have remember that you can use the drop down boxes in MNCAT to display by year and/or volume. This will help with large titles such as Nature, Science, JAMA, etc. Let me know if you have any questions about this.
