Hello,
We box our Forbes and replace them with microfiche. I would probably
bind them all together.

I haven't seen any replies to this question. Did I miss anything??
I hadn't heard that Forbes regular issues were being replaced by ASAP (I'm new) so I
called Forbes today and they assured me that Forbes, Forbes ASAP and Forbes FYI were
all still active and that none of them were replacing any other of them. I asked the
question two or three different ways and the customer service rep didn't waver.
As for binding them, I'm leaning toward binding them together. The citation in
FirstSearch lists Forbes ASAP and Forbes FYI articles as just "Forbes" with the
issue information after. And, it has the "my library owns" icon, which tells me we
ought to have it where they can find it. Also, Ebsco does a little better by putting
the word ASAP after the date like this: "Forbes 6/24/2002 ASAP Vol 169 Issue 14,
p64..."
What did anyone else decide?

***Well, I for one wish they were not intermingling the numbering then. If Forbes
publishes vol. 170, numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and then 8, and Forbes ASAP comes in
between nos. 6 and 8 and is numbered v. 170 #7, what is it if not a replacement for
Forbes v. 170 #7?
***Calling a pig not a pig doesn't change the pork flavor.
***Then again, it's been a long day, and editing patterns to allow for skipped
numbers and added supplements (or making 3 patterns for one subscription & editing
*those*) is not my idea of a fun pastime - and now, going to check on issues in
response to this post, having found v. 170 #7 claimed as a skipped Forbes issue did
not do a lot to add to the day's peaceful close.
***So are the rest of you checking them is as all one title?
