00:51 Please refer to the Koha spoken tutorial series on this website for more details.
00:58 To receive Serials, let’s login to Koha as Superlibrarian Bella and her password.
01:06 On the homepage, click on Serials.
01:11 At the top of the new page, locate the field for Title.
01:17 Enter the first or any word from the title of the journal. For example, I will type Indian.

02:41 Now, let’s learn how to Claim late Serials.
02:46 Koha can send email messages to the Serials vendors if there are late issues.
02:53 For example:

Out of 4 Serials issues, the library has received only issue numbers 1, 2 and 4. And, issue no. 3 has not been received.

03:08 In such a case, a claim can be sent for issue no.3 that is still to be received.
03:15 To the left of the main Serials page, there is an option named 'Claims’.
03:21 Click on Claims.
03:24 A new page opens with a dialog box:

No claims notice defined. Please define one.

Click on Please define one.

03:35 A new page Notices and Slips opens.
03:39 Under Notices and Slips, locate the tab Select a library:.

From the drop- down, select your Library Name.

03:49 I will select Spoken Tutorial Library.

04:00 A new page opens with the heading Add notice.

04:24 Notice that as soon as Claim serial issue is selected from the drop down,

Koha auto-selects the field for Library as All libraries.

04:53 In the field for Name, type: Unsupplied Issues.
04:59 Next, click on the section Email.
