However, it was pointed out to me that JSTOR "subscriptions" do not
include the current issue. I knew that. But it just didn't occur to
me that this disqualifies them from being "current"  subscriptions.
(Unless we have a current print subscription, which we do for some
titles.) So now I think maybe I should say no, they are not current
titles, and I should not report them as such.
