Hi--

My director is thinking of buying extra subscriptions to several
popular titles and scattering them around the "lounging" areas of the
library to increase readership and keep the browsers happy.  We would
keep one subscription as an archival copy since many of these issues
will undoubtedly go missing.  Has anyone done this and run into problems
with it?

Has anyone out there done library business with University Subscription
Services?  They're significantly cheaper than vendor prices for many of
the popular titles.  Would there be any big advantage to getting these
titles through our regular vendor (we use EBSCO) and just paying the
$30-$50 extra for each title?  Any advice you could give me would be
very welcome.  Thanks in advance.

Trish
