I find it interesting that the Ebsco representative is just guessing what the publisher meant. She did not respond with “the publisher has contacted me with the following information…”

Perhaps that gets to the heart of the matter. Food for thought.

So are the new volumes going to always begin in the middle of a month? I stick to my assertion that the person in charge of volume/issue numbers has lost their mind.

In regards to "The Nation", I contacted Ebsco, and this is what they replied to me.

Hi Danny,

There seems to have been a misprint on some of these issues. According to my records V.301 began June 15; by that information the August 17 issue should be No.7/8 as printed. Here are the correct volume and issue numbers for V.301 so far.

V.301 No.1 (2015 June 15)

V.301 No.2 (2015 June 22)

V.301 No.3 (2015 July 6)

V.301 No.4 (2015 July 20)

V.301 No.5/6 (2015 August 3)

V.301 No.7/8 (2015 August 17)

I know EBSCONET shows the wrong issue information and that is because we enter what is provided by the publisher on the label. I think the publisher just realized their printing error with the most current issue and corrected it. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. The issues should be printed and listed correctly from here forward, barring any further publisher error.

Thank you,
