***I am responding to the list, and CCing Marie, because I'd like to hear
what other Faxon clients are saying/doing, and am thinking others would
also.  If you feel uncomfortable posting your info to Serialst, I would
appreciate being CCed.

***We received a mailed "Announcement" from Faxon in October, saying that
they had
         "instituted a Net Publisher Policy that assesses a nominal
         fee of $5 [Jeanette's note: not $7] to every non-discounted
         title."

***I've heard nothing since; if they have begun including it, it's news to
me.

***I also called Faxon on October 21 (after receiving the announcement) and
requested a list of titles affected, and have not yet received that list.
