The Weeklies 2026 list has been posted to the support site. SWAN staff regularly evaluate the titles that are part of our annual weeklies list. Due to changes to publication frequency and the number of libraries with subscriptions to these titles, many titles from 2025 are not on the 2026 list.
The bibliographic records for the 2025 titles that are not on the 2026 weeklies list are now updated to be the full serial record. This allows members utilizing Serial Control in WorkFlows to continue using the same bibliographic record without needing to transfer or modify their Serial Control records for these titles. Please reference the 2025 table for these title control numbers as needed.
For ongoing weeklies titles, the serial controls can be transferred to the new records once 2025 issues are no longer expected, or new controls can be created in the 2026 records.
See Transferring a Control Record as needed.
Quick reminders:
Do not attach Crain’s Book of Lists to Crain’s Chicago Business serial record. Crain’s Book of Lists also gets a new monographic record every year.
As a refresher on serials call numbers, magazines published monthly must have the call number represented MMM YYYY.
- Example: PERIODICAL|zJAN 2025.
Magazines published weekly must have the call number represented MMM DD, YYYY.
- Example: PERIODICAL|zJAN 8, 2025.
Any incorrect punctuation will create a duplicate in the public catalog.
