  • Formally notifying a publisher or vendor of a missing or unreceived issue and requesting its supply✔️
  • Binding loose issues into a permanent volume
  • Cancelling a serial subscription at the end of a contract period

Claiming is the process by which a library notifies a publisher, agent, or vendor that an expected issue of a serial has not been received, requesting dispatch of the missing issue. Timely and systematic claiming is essential to maintaining complete serial runs.
