Subject: Abbreviations as added entries!

  Dear friends in serials,

   I'd like to thank everyone who responded to my query concerning
this matter. It was easy to come up with arguments AGAINST doing this;
your help with arguments FOR it is very much appreciated. Our science
librarians were quite excited to see some of those responses.
  As for the proposal to add abbreviated titles retrospectively to
exisiting records in some centralized way, I wonder if CONSER might be
interested in looking into this?
