Dear Barbara,

No, you aren't alone in this one. It would be one of the most difficult
titles to find on an automated system.
Our University Library runs DRA and I had to try several versions of
entering the title before the system actually retreived it.
C/C ++ users journal and/or C C ++ users journal worked. There is no
keyword searching in the serials/acquisitions module which makes
life difficult at times.

Heather Ashworth.
