New Serial - DIG4

In Operations Alert 18-80, NLS announced that they will be providing Reader's Digest as an addition to their digital magazine line up. The code will be DIG4

We're in the process of asking some clarifying questions of NLS, after which we will be working on getting this serial set up for all BPH libraries. Once the serial record is there, you'll be able to start adding subscriptions.

Many of you have had a listing for the previous offering of Reader's Digest by APH. If you open the Serials Module, find that entry and look at the Subscriber's Tab, you'll have a ready-made list of patrons to add subscriptions for. It may be worth exporting that list to Excel and sorting through to remove the patrons who are no longer active or no longer interested in receiving this serial as part of the MOC. Patrons will not have to be subscribed to download the issues directly from BARD.

Once the new DIG4 serial is set up, you can add the reviewed list of patron subscriptions by using the Add button on the Serials Subscribers tab. It is a one-at a time process, so if you have more than 100 to add, please contact Keystone support at and we'll assist you.

If you want to copy over the subscribers from the APH-distributed Reader's Digest but need a more detailed step-by-step, check out this thread for a download: How to Copy Subscribers from one Serial to Another
