Serials Solutions can use moving walls. In the Serials Solutions database, the coverage date would appear as: 1907 -

And our A-Z ejournal portal (that is generated by Serials Solutions) would display this to our users:

	American journal of international law  (0002-9300)
	from 1907 to present in JSTOR Arts and Sciences I Collection

And in our OPAC, the bib record would show this

	Years available  	 Connect to full-text
	01 Jan. 1907-	 JSTOR arts and sciences I collection

BTW, we obtain our MARC records on a monthly basis from Serials Solutions, so the content of our OPAC is reasonably up to date. We could obtain the MARC records every two weeks but this service would cost more.

Best,
Kumiko

I don't know about this, but it drives me crazy that Ex Libris doesn't just use a moving wall for titles in JStor.  That would make so much more sense!  Then they'd only have to change them when the wall moves, instead of every year.

Subject: [SERIALST] Serials Solutions vs. SFX

We use SFX from Ex Libris as our link resolver. I am wondering how
Serials Solutions handles the JSTOR packages. SFX shows the beginning
and ending years--1911-2006, for example. Every year, unknown when, Ex
Libris will update the latest year so the threshold would read
1911-2007. It's the end of March and any title I check seems to have the
newly added year at JSTOR, but SFX is behind. How much more current is
Serials Solutions with the JSTOR collections?
