Hi Susan,

I checked our print copy and your faculty member has the full article.
P. 7 is an ad.

I'm not aware of similar problems with our ASP full text, but then I'm
not really in the loop to hear them.

Yes, page 7 is a full-page ad:  C-SPAN brings you the 2004 elections.

Page 7 is a full page ad for C-SPAN in the classroom. Page 6 has a large
ad for Fortres 101. So as far as I can tell from the print copy in front
of me and your description, the only thing missing is advertisements.

Subject: [SERIALST] help needed for full-text article

I have a faculty member who seems to have stumbled upon another quirk
with full-text access to an EBSCO Academic Search Premiere title, Media
& Methods.  He is trying to access the following article:

Filmmaking in the Classroom: Cameras & Editing Cameras & Editing
Equipment. By: Theodosakis, Nikos. Media & Methods, May/Jun2004, Vol. 40
Issue 6, p6, 1p; (AN 13466687)

The article is actually continued on page 8 where the page is shared
with another article: Graphic Design Class Uses Remote Mentorship. By:
Hewett, Larry. Media & Methods, May/Jun2004, Vol. 40 Issue 6, p8, 1p;
(AN 13466689)

EBSCO only provides access to one page of the article as listed in the
citation and not the rest of the article on page 8.  We were able to
access the rest of the article by pulling up the second citation.

The faculty would like to confirm that he has the entire article, page 6
and page 8, as there are no additional citations listed for page 7.  We
suspect that page 7 is either advertisement or part of the article that
did not get scanned.  The PDF file of the article for page 6 also shows
a huge blank spot that looks like it might have contained additional
information and was somehow deleted.  It is entirely possibly this is
just a graphic layout for page 6.  I am hoping to find a willing person
who has a print subscription to Media & Methods to check the print copy,
May/June 2004 issue to see what page 6 and 7 contain.  If there is text
and/or other missing information, we can obtain a print copy through
interlibrary loan.

I also wondered if anyone else has encountered similar problems with
full-text articles.  This is the first time I have seen this specific
problem.

Thank you,

Susan
