Editor's note:  In reference to Erika's note below, SERIALST is not a "vendor free" list.  We invite vendors as well as others to participate in the list.  What we attempt to do is leave commercialism out of the list; hence the weekly Commercial Digest.

I second Kathy G.'s thanks.
On the other hand, I thought -- no offence, Jennifer -- that this listserv was "vendor free", like Autocat...

Erika
