I agree that sounds a bit hard to believe.  Can I ask where you obtained
that information?

I've just been told that the September 2001 issue of Harvard Business
Review is also out of print.  Three months old and it's out of print?!?

It was customer service  from HBR itself that I dealt with and my
feedback was far from positive.  I will also be looking for 2001 issues,
since my contact at HBR is going to Swets/Blackwell for the missing
issues.  If the June 2001 issue is out of print, I would assume they
couldn't get it for me either.  I am surprised that a recent issue is
out of print though, since they did send me the 2000 issues after I
complained long enough.

I would dearly love to cancel this title from our collection, but some
of our Judges do read it on occasion.  It has cost us far more than the
subscription cost to keep this title active and I frankly don't see that
its worth it.

2001 ISSUE NEEDED

From: "Edelen, Joe" <jedelen@USD.EDU>

I believe that many companies, perhaps HBR themselves, are very
interested in customer feedback and I think this is a good issue that
people may
wish to express their displeasure with (see 1st posting in this thread
at the
bottom of this email).  It seems quit unreasonable that they would do
that for a subscription that was already paid.

Also, we are in need of the June 2001 issue since it is OP and we never
received it.  Anyone who could help us out would be greatly appreciated.
Have been unable to secure it anywhere so far.

Thanks

FYI

I had suspected that myself, but the email address seems to contradict
that thought.  I just received an email back from the person I was
dealing with at HBR with regards to missing 2001 issues and she is
looking into the back orders from Swets Blackwells.  I have a feeling
this will go around in circles like my last request, though they say
they will respond ASAP.

In the interim, I want to thank someone on this listserv who has
generously offered to send me 3 of my missing issues that I had yet to
receive from Harvard Business Review.  Marilee H. Rouillard Periodicals
Supervisor, Mason Library Keene State College has generously offered to
send us some of the issues, that she happened to have duplicates of.
Her offer has been accepted and we are very happy to have encountered
such a wonderful person at this time of year :)

Thanks Marilee!
Janice

***Update that will probably surprise no one:  The person/entity I am
dealing with (and I suspect Janice White was dealing with) is not
actually
Harvard Business Review, but neodata -
the fulfillment house.
