The National Academies (National Academy of Sciences) library switched from
SS to A-Z.  We received better "bang for the buck" and the real-time feature
was a HUGE bonus for us, something we didn't get with SS.   Our Info Systems
librarian also likes the control we have over the look and feel of the site
with A-Z, and she finds that the searching is better than on Serials
Solutions.  On the technical maintenance side, our Info Systems librarian
found Serials Solutions was so much more work, since she had to translate all
the html to Word to accommodate our Content Management System, Stellant. and
then she had to go in and add JavaScript to each URL.  A to Z is a better
fit.
