I show a combined Dec 22/29 issue as no.7071 and the Jan 5 issue as no.7072. Looks like we received it and the next issue within two days of each other.

We did receive it, after multiple claims (for multiple issues). Thanks, Jeanette L. Skwor Serials Dept.

To continue (I had to attend a meeting), I just checked the stacks, and it appears that V. 438 No. 7071 encompasses the dates Dec. 22-29, 2005. If, according to their publisher, they only publish 51 times yearly, and this year published a double issue at the end of December, then perhaps they didn't have a Jan 5, 2006 issue. The issue is enumerated V. 438 No. 7071 however, and not 7071-7072. It could be that it was merely a mistake in enumeration, since the next issue is marked V.439 No. 7073. To further complicate matters, I have been following this LISTSERVs comments about nature and in particular the Jan. 5, 2006 issue of said publication, and I have never seen any entries about someone receiving this issue until now (i.e. van Sickle). I would be interested in knowing what the issue is about, and what is on the cover, if it's not too inconvenient, since the publisher disavows all knowledge of the issue even existing. But who are we to toy with nature..?(:0)) Comments appreciated. :)Jason (5)------------------- Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2006 12:59:47 -0500 From: Mary Williams <mary.williams@minotstateu.edu> If you look at the website, there is a January 5th issue. On the cover is a huge flower and in large type (you'll love this) - Working Together.

I'm holding it in my hand :) AND..........it is listed on their website: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v439/n7072/index.html I also have an extremely difficult time obtaining missing issues from NPG. Often the customer service reps will reply that they are sending the missing issue, but then it never arrives. I personally think there is some sort of communication breakdown between the customer service department and the group that actually sends out the missing issue. barb barb dietsch | serials coordinator epa library | unc contract staff 109 tw alexander drive | mail code c267-01 research triangle park, nc 27711 phone: 919.541.0726 fax: 919.541.1405 dietsch.barbara@epa.gov
