Hello all,

I just noticed that NA Publishing has an announcement on their website (see below) at: http://napubco.com/ but they don’t say whom to contact regarding outstanding microforms.

I am wondering if anybody from the list had contact with them lately or knows how to contact them?

Thanks,

Hella

“NA Publishing, along with its parent company Image Data Conversion, has ceased operations and is working with its bank to resolve its outstanding obligations. NA Publishing is seeking to find buyers for its digital collections, including: Music Magazine Archives, and Leftist/Marxist Newspapers. In the mean time, NA Publishing will continue to provide access to these collections until a buyer(s) has been found. NA Publishing is in the process of transitioning the Publishers Weekly Digital Archive directly to Publishers Weekly who has agreed to maintain access for all libraries that have previously purchased this collection.

For outstanding serials in microfilm orders, NA Publishing has been seeking an agent to fulfill outstanding orders but has not secured one as of this date. Efforts to secure a viable solution for fulfilling these will continue.

Please check this website (http://napubco.com/) for updates as they become available.”

I asked our Lyrasis Outreach Librarian since Lyrasis had been working with them as a vendor. She confirmed that NA Publishing has shut down. Apparently the parent company, IDC, went bankrupt. Unfortunately, she also had no contact information for NA Publishing about where to go to make a case for getting money back. I think it is highly unlikely any items will be successfully claimed. As best as I can tell they closed their doors on or around March 31, 2018.

Does anyone know of another company that can supply back file microforms for journals?

Hello,

Did anyone have any luck getting an email or call back from someone at NA Publishing within the past month? We’re in the same boat – several items not received for the past few years and no indication that we’ll receive those items or get a refund.

I am wondering if any libraries are still collecting microfiche on regular basis? If so, do you subscribe to titles through NA Publishing? Have you received anything since March of 2017? We cancelled all our subscriptions in 2017, but still have several titles from 2015 and 2016 which have not been completed. My phone calls and emails are not being answered. Does anyone out there have any information on this company to share?

Thanks,

LeAnne
