Subject: [SERIALST] Child Psychiatry and Human Development Journal

Hello Serials People,

I hope that another library that subscribes to Child Psychiatry and Human Development (ISSN 0009=398X) can help me.

I would like to be able to predict this title for predictive check in in our ILS. We  use ALEPH version 18.1.

  According to the publishing information this journal is published quarterly.  We have  received volume 38:no.1 (2007:Jun) and v.38:no.2 (2007:Aug).

I sent an email to the publisher looking for some more information and they were not that helpful.  I received a reply that four issues are published per year, the second issue will be mailed in June.  They do not have dates for issues three and four.

What I am trying to figure out is what months issues 3 and 4 will be.  It looks to me like no. 3 would be considered October and no. 4 would be considered December.

Do you agree with me?  Thanks for any other thoughts you may have!

Best,

Judy Haven (aka Julie)
