What to expect from a subscription service
Bruch, Courtney 16 Nov 2005 21:23 UTC
Hello,
I'm a new librarian in charge of a print serials collection at a small
university library. Currently we receive 90 print publications from a
subscription service. Maybe I'm an idealist, but I'm surprised by the
number of claims I have had to make monthly; and how I am oftentimes
unable to receive a copies of a serial that should have been sent and
wasn't. Does anyone have statistics on about how many claims are made
monthly at a library receiving about the same number of journals? Or,
does a list ranking large serial jobbers exist? Any advice would be
greatly appreciated.
