Perhaps Mr. Jaeger's company is doing what they are doing because
PubZilla doesn't cover all of the replacement needs of libraries
effected by the hurricanes. I took a look at your site, and it is
specifically for medical and health sciences journals. While I applaud
your efforts, those are not the only journals that effected libraries
will need.
Thank you for bringing PubZilla to our attention, but please don't
belittle the efforts being made by Absolute Backorder Service (and any
others doing similar work). It's like telling all of the volunteer
organizations to go home because the Red Cross is there and can handle
everything on its own.
