Acquisitions/Serials staff at the National Library of Australia are following
the discussions concerning Faxon on SERIALST with interest.  We currently
receive approximately 250 subscription titles from Faxon US under a
consolidation service arrangement, plus another approximately 500
additional subscription titles from Faxon US under normal arrangements.
We have an equivalent arrangement with Ebsco US and don't necessarily want
to transfer all our Faxon US business to them in addition.  We are
currently investigating the cost and feasibility of using Blackwells UK at
least for our consolidation titles, as an alternative to Ebsco.
