I think you can set up standing orders for items you need and they can try to get them for you. Their URL is http://www.archivalresources.com/. We are using them to manage the weeding of our bound serials holdings, but we have never actually purchased items from them.

Hello Everyone, I was wondering if there are any other companies that offer the same service as the United States Book Exchange. I would like to be able to purchase our library's missing issues, instead of searching the endless Backserv email messages with no luck finding anything we need! I have done some research to try and find another USBE-like company, but have had no luck, so I thought I'd turn to you all for some input! Thank you for your suggestions!

(Lauren Irto) We have worked successfully with two back issue vendors besides USBE. Absolute Backorder Service http://www.absolute-inc.com/ They have an online inventory on their website and a special program where you qualify for a price of $10 per issue. Contact Glenn Jaeger or Tracey Clarke, jaeger@absolute-inc.com or clarke@absolute-inc.com for more information. Alfred Jaeger Inc. http://www.ajaeger.com/ jaeger@ajaeger.com 800-969-JAGR Don Jaeger is the company's president. Good luck!

(Lauren Irto) Hello, We also use Alfred Jaeger, Inc., 66 Austin Blvd. Commack, N.Y. 11725-9009, 631-543-1537 for missing journal issues in addition to USBE. Their policy is similar except there is no annual membership fee. Prices vary from title to title and they will search within your time parameters. Since we are a medical library we have sporadic success with both companies. Sometimes really good and other times they have very little. However, they are cordial and pleasant which in this day and age counts high in my book. Lillian N. DeBlois MLS Arizona Health Sciences Library P.O.
