Subject: RE: Embargoed titles-holdings statement? -- Jane Burke

Dear Jane et al,

For my library's free text public-display holdings statements, we insert a
parenthetical "(excluding most recent 12 months)" for embargoed titles.  The
parenthetical statement follows our indication of positive holdings, usually
open-ended, so that the full holdings statement for an electronically
accessed journal looks something like this:

Mar. 1992 -  (excluding most recent 18 months)

Our users seem to find this reasonably clear.
