Martha et al,
One word of caution about using the mailing label information: very
frequently that form of electronic access is intended for individual
subscribers, not institutional subscribers.

     We keep a file of mailing labels.  Our wonderful serials clerk (no
     make
     that goddess), Juanita, works very hard to be sure we have all the
     info
     on a current label.  Now that electronic access to some paper
     subscriptions is available using info from the mailing label, this
     comes in very handy.  It isn't anything fancy; sometimes the
     wrapper is
     filed or the label is cut of the plastic and taped to an 8.5 x 11
     piece
     of scrap paper, or a photocopy is made.
