I'm not sure if we are participating in the same program, but it
sounds similar.  We are receiving 7 or 8 titles at our medical
library, through an Ebsco program (and they're not even our
vendor).  They are supplied courtesy of WalMart.  We, however, got
to pick the titles from a list that was supplied to us.  It was all
handled by our Collection Management Dept., so I don't know the
particulars behind it.  I do know that they supplied us with
plastic display binders that are imprinted "Congratulations on
joining the nations [sic] most trusted profession.    Virginia
Commonwealth University College of Pharmacy    This magazine is
provided for your reading pleasure by WalMart Pharmacy."

We have been able to get popular-reading titles that we could not
afford to purchase for the medical library.  Some of them seem to
be fairly heavily used.
