-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Saving the mailing label -- Lisa Blackwell Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2002 08:39:05 -0600 From: Alfred Kraemer <akraemer@MCW.EDU> We used to save mailing labels until we asked for and received a list from our subscription vendor of subscription numbers. Subsequently we also requested the list in electronic format so that it could be added as a table in the database along with other related information. Occasionally we find some discrepancies, however, the list we received is at least 95% accurate and very useful for us to register for electronic access.
