Interesting you should mention claim notices. There are some publishers
who will not set up standing orders for series. We set up "tickler"
reports for these in our acquisitions system. Essentially, there's a
number (we use a date) in the record that we use to print off monthly
reports of all "tickler" series so that we can order the current issues
from the catalog.
So, folks may want to set up their own "tickler" file to remind them to
check the Washington state survey website. If you've got calendar
software, you can probably set up reminders. Or, if you've got an
acquisitions/serials dept., you may want to ask them to set up
tickler/reminder files to check on series that do not come on standing
order.
