Jeanette and all,
I agree. I subscribed to the list because I am the only person in my library
involved with serials. All of the discussion, if it has enough relevance to
be posted to this list, is potentially interesting. Much of it is enlightening,and some items of discussion lead me to say, "Ah -- so I'm not the only one
with this question." Last but not least, my delete key works just fine.

I do agree. We all got a bit alarmed, perhaps, when a (dare I
mention it?) G & B representative popped up in the course of a
discussion about that eminent publishing house and reminded us
to mind our ps and qs; then perhaps people are afraid of boring
us - but as you say, deletion is easy. Let's have more replies
to the List!

I agree with Jeanette. I like to read the responses to these problems and
compare them to how we have handled things in similar situations. Judy Irvin

Subject: Re: [SERIALST] Reply personally (Jeanette Skwor)
I agree strongly with Jeanette Skwor about the recent trend toward
having responses sent directly to the person with the original question. I
am on this list to gather input on the many issues surrounding serials,
and I like to see people's responses without summarization. It means
having to look at more mail each day, but at least that mail will relate
to more than job openings.
We do all have the option to ask for digests or message indexes
rather than getting messages as they are posted.

Subject: Re: Reply personally
I agree with Jeanette, for a slightly different reason. Serials and all
their lovely facets are one part of my job -- I'm the "junior partner" in a
two-person library. Yes, we have a small, specialized collection, and most
of the specific titles I've seen discussed on this list don't affect us. I
still follow this list, though, to pick up random bits of information on how
others handle these facets. Since I *am* the Serials department (as well as
the Interlibrary Loan department, the Circulation department, the Photograph
Archives department -- shall I go on?), this list is a great way for me to
get informal contact with others who have some of the same responsibilities
I do.
