We mostly use USBE but most of the titles I'm looking for are general...not in the area of law or government documents. Have you tried contacting the publishers of the titles with missing issues? Do you need very many issues? We maintain a "Missing Journal List" and monitor a back issue listserv for issues needed. This listserv provides a place to post issues to be given away by libraries and we just peruse the postings each day. If there aren't too many we could add them to our list and look for any donations. This only costs the amount of postage reimbursement. Just send a list of exactly what you need with the following info: title volume # issue # date of magazine http://macfadden.mit.edu:9500/colserv/gifts/dealers.html This is a tidy list of several back issue dealers with web links. We have used USBE and Jaeger so they are the only ones I can personally vouch for. Both are efficient. http://www.backissuefinder.com Allows an online search of their inventory. Very nice. Hope this helps. If not, let me know what else I can do.

I have visited their facility and they have hundreds of thousands of back issues housed in several large storage facilities.

I need source for mainly law and govdoc serials. We either did not receive or are missing issues that were received. I would like to have a complete run of titles. Thanks.
