http://www.harrassowitz.de/HARRASSOWITZ_Named_Global_Sales_Partner_for_DeGruyter_edition.html notes that DeGruyter has chosen Harrassowitz as a sales partner. -----Original Message----- From: SERIALST: Serials in Libraries Discussion Forum [mailto:SERIALST@LIST.UVM.EDU] On Behalf Of Arlene Sievers-Hill Sent: Friday, January 06, 2012 6:06 AM To: SERIALST@LIST.UVM.EDU Subject: Re: [SERIALST] De Gruyter emails?? To all: Re: Walter de Gruyter In a recent discussion I had with a Harrassowitz representative I learned from him that Harrassowitz has taken over De Gruyter. During these kinds of changeovers there are more often than not lots of confusion. I will try to get all the information I can on this and pass it on. I suspect De Gruyter was about to go under and Harrassowitz may have seen the opportunity to step in. They publish important material in linguistics as many of you know. De Gruyter and Mouton in the Netherlands have always, it seems, been in trouble. When I worked there they were located near or in Lisse where I worked with Swets. I remember Mouton going through a similar vanishing act. My thoughts.

Someone may want to pass this on to ACQNET and WESL of ACRL. I will if I get a chance.
