Libraries have been communicating the need for an effective means of obtaining
and disposing of serials. SerialsQuest is an online database which links
together seekers, vendors and traders of missing serials issues.  A prototype
copy of all issues for trade within the database from A-F is being market
tested.  Libraries who receive this copy are offering their feedback.

For more information, contact Glenn Jaeger, Manager of SerialsQuest,
at 1-800-999-3594 extension 393 OR internet address JAEGER@FAXON.COM.
