Hi Charlie!
We use WT Cox, and have a very favorable service charge. In addition, the service we have from Cox is outstanding! We are very happy with them, and think
they are well worth consideration.
Another jobber that is still out there is Basch Subscriptions :
http://www.basch.com/ - We don’t use them, and I have never had any experience with them.
Good luck in your search!

Subject: [SERIALST] Serial Jobbers
Hi All,
My library currently uses EBSCO as our serials jobber. Our contract with them has ended and so have our discounts on inflationary increases for EBSCO database products.
We’re trying to decide if it’s worth sending out a bid for a new serials jobber given the few that seem to still be in existence.
For libraries that have recently gone through this process, which jobber ended up having the lowest service charge? Besides, EBSCO, WT Cox, and Harrasowitz, are there any other jobbers left?
Given how so many of our journal subscriptions are now part of large publisher packages, have any libraries decided to drop their jobber and manage subscriptions on their own?
I look forward to your thoughts on this.
Charlie
