Location Codes to be Deleted from SERLINE®

Location Codes to be Deleted from SERLINE®. NLM Technical Bulletin. 1997 Jul–Aug;(297):e1.

July 1997 [posted]

The following fields will be removed from SERLINE effective with the October 1997 update:

Regional Locator Codes (L1-L8)
Regional Locator Counts (K1-K8)
Region (RG)

The data in the SERLINE locator fields is no longer current and will not be updated due to technical constraints. Current holdings information is available via SERHOLD(TM), which serves as the basis for DOCLINE®, NLM's online interlibrary loan request and referral system for health sciences libraries. Descriptive information about libraries and other organizations which use NLM's Interlibrary Loan (ILL) services or are a part of the Regional Document Delivery Network is provided by the DOCUSER (DOCUMENT DELIVERY USER) database
