When eliminating check-in and claiming, how do institutions handle the

following problems:

a) Delayed publication titles - the titles that get behind and then when

they resume publication, the publisher doesn't send you the issues you

already paid for.  How will you know to claim the issues?

b) What about art journals which are frequently stolen, and whose online

equivalents are often missing illustrations for copyright reasons?

Illustrations that are in the print version may show up as blank boxes in

the online version.  They will come out as bad B&W scans via ILL (assuming

the interested patron has time to wait). Images are not always available

via Google Image Search or Google Books.
