Dear Carley,

Thank you for your recommendation. I didn’t look at this website, but this is a good idea. I am looking for a vendor who can supply serials related to medicine and health care. It is not easy to find a reliable small vendor in the country. Fortunately, I have received some good recommendations from colleagues, so it should help.

Thank you again,

Alla

Hi Alla,

Hmmm....we receive the majority of our serials from the region via exchange or donation so I don't have a specific vendor name to offer you.  However, if I were to start MY own search, I would definitely talk to someone at SALALM (Seminar on the Acquisition of Latin American Library Materials ).  Have you taken a look at their website (http://www.salalm.org/) or contacted anyone? 

Sorry I can't be of more help, but best of luck!  If SALALM can't help, write me back and I will try and contact someone from a different library in the region.
