We
have used Wolper Information Services, out of Easton PA for
our serials subscriptions ever since I accepted my position
in 2008. Wolper has excellent customer service. http://www.wolper.com.
A couple of years ago, we separated our print and
single-title electronic subscriptions to two vendors: Wolper
for print; EBSCO for online.

I haven’t worked with them, so cannot offer thoughts on
their quality compared to others.
Best
of luck on your search!

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.
