This is surprising, since I am bombarded with renewal notices from publishers all the time.

Speaking as a publisher, some but certainly not all the time, the problem will be that your subscription will be classified as from a “library” and therefore
since publishers don’t send renewal notices to libraries, you might not receive one. And this of course can cause you more headaches than you want.

Hello Robert,
I have done this a few times, usually when a new subscription was started after the first issue(s) of a volume or when EBSCO states that it cannot contact the
publisher. I’ve been reasonably successful. A couple of publishers have sent the journals needed free of charge, and I was able to track down a publishing office that had moved and pass the information back to EBSCO. However, in all cases I believe these were
rather small publishers. I’m not sure that you would get the same response from the major ones.
Sincerely,
Laura E. Herndon

Subject: [SERIALST] Ordering direct from publishers
Greetings,
Does anyone out there have experience with circumventing a serials vendor and ordering (and claiming) journal titles direct from publishers? This is directed at libraries or library branches with smaller collections.
I'd be curious to hear of your experiences, positive and negative, if any of you have tried this, or are currently doing this.
Many thanks!
