I would like to hear from libraries subscribing to AND BINDING the
journal Pediatrics and how they are handling the 'Pediatrics electronic
pages' that appear in each issue.

Background:

With volume 99, 1997, Pediatrics began publishing special 'Green Pages'
in the monthly issues.  In part the preface on these green pages reads:

"Pediatrics electronic pages is the internet section of the journal
PEDIATRICS, providing additional original pediatric research over the
WEB. ... These articles are indexed in Index Medicus, MEDLINE, and
PubMed, among other services. Abstracts of articles in PEDIATRICS
electronic pages appear in every issue of PEDIATRICS in this section,
wihch is differentiated by special green pages.  The complete original
articles are only available onlijne.

Originally we bound the individual issues and supplements, leaving these
'electronic articles' alone.  I am revisiting this question in light of
the publisher making entire 'Electronic ONLY Supplements' which are
paged continuously with the volume. These must be printed out and bound
with the issues (we do) OR insert a page indicating that these indexed
articles are only available online.

Question:  Before the volume goes to the bindery, do you print the
entire articles in the 'Green Pages'?

IF SO, where do you place it in the bound volume? (a. After each issue /
b. End of the bound unit (ie Jan and Feb. with those issues / c. a
separate volume)?

Please present your thoughts to the list directly so all may see how
this is being handled.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
