They say that this "S&P Directories" will replace the Stock Market Encyclopedia. They weren't able to give an ISSN and didn't know if a record was in OCLC or not. I'm not sure I'm finding anything in OCLC, b/c (as you know) the title it's called on the invoice can be a little different from the real title. Does anyone know anything about this, especially the record number or ISSN for this new "S&P Directories"? Thanks!
