Subject: Binding Edmunds Car Prices

Hello folks,

Here at Mississippi State University we are determining whether or not to
bind and permanently retain the various Edmunds car prices titles. We have
run into trouble once the serial split up in 1991. It is now at least 3
seperate titles, which seem to have slight title changes with each issue.

I was wondering how others have dealt with retaining this title. We think
that after about a year, patrons no longer want this information. They
seem to need only current information on car prices. Have other
universities bound and retained these, or have you only kept current
issues for use?

And what have you done about the numerous title differences?  (currently
we make good use of MARC field 246).

Your comments are appreciated,

Christine Fletcher, Serials Librarian
