  • 5/1/2024 Issuing MoC Webinar

    A Zoom screenshot from the Issuing Magazines on Cartridge webinar show presenter Katy Patrick in the upper right corner and the KLAS Serials Module taking up the rest of the image.

    On May 1, 2025 we got together and talked magazines on cartridge (MoC)! We shared the current status and coming improvements, answered questions, and did our best to start you out on the right foot. As usual, this session was recorded for those who can't join us live.

    • What: Issuing Magazines on Cartridge (MoC) Webinar
    • Presenter: Katy Patrick,Technical Writer, Keystone Systems
    During this webinar we maxed out the 100 attendee limit on Zoom for the first time, so we tried upping our max to 500 as it was ongoing, which required us to stop and restart the webinar in our attempt. We recommend watching Part 2 first which has the vast majority of the information presented. Part 1 is the first 15 minutes prior to restarting.

    Query to find BARD Only Patrons with Active Subscriptions

    Here's the query Erin, AZ, requested during the webinar to find BARD Only patrons with active subscriptions:

    Quick Search-

    • Main Status | Equals | a

    Advanced Search-

    • Media | Pat Medium | Equals | db
    • Media | ServeCode | Equals | bard [or "ob" or whatever code is used for "BARD only" patrons]
    • Subscription | KLAS ID | [see below]
    • Subscription | End Date | Is Blank

    For the subscription IDs, either use "In" and a comma-separated list of all MoC Serials
    OR
    use "Not In" and a list of the most common non-MoC serials, ex: SER-TBT2,SER-TBT4,SER-TBN2,SER-TBN9,SER-DDB9,SER-NWL8,SER-CAW1,SER-CAP1,SER-VET9,SER-CAL2

    This query is not perfect, but it should give you a reasonable list of BARD-only patrons with active subscriptions (which may or may not be MoC serials) for you to review.

    Bear in mind that these patrons have been receiving MoC Direct serials despite their BARD Only status, and may want to continue receiving them.
