Thank you so far for your responses. Good thoughts and ideas. I have indeed sent a query to our subscription agent – waiting word. I was very doubtful about Ulrich’s and some of you confirmed my doubt. L I think focusing on a publisher and on particular titles may be the most straightforward way to go. While using a business database (e.g., Hoover’s) for getting company history and ownership, etc., is helpful, I am not so sure a business database will enumerate the titles (and each title’s history) a publisher publishes. Good thoughts. Thanks.

Have you tried asking your serial agent for any assistance? We get notifications from our whenever a publisher changes, perhaps they have tracked that info on their side and could provide a report?

Interesting question, and good luck!

Hi,

Forwarding a question from a colleague to the list below. I’m not sure if there is a neat, all-in-one-place list of this sort. Ulrich’s might be of help, but maybe not. Ideas?

Hi all --

I need to do some serials research. Basically I'm interested in developing a list of US-published journals (for instance, scholarly society journals) that used to be published in US but were absorbed / bought / published by non-US publishers (such as Elsevier). Do you have any idea how I could do this? Would Ulrich's be helpful? Or is there some tool like that?

Laura
