I believe we are going to cancel Journal of Communication as well.
Contact with the Blackwell representative did not produce any
alternative but to cancel based on the exorbitant costs and our selector
was not interested in the added on titles.

Would you be willing to share the titles of the serials your institution
subscribed to instead of the Journal of Communication bundle?  I would
like to pass this on.

We're done with Graphis.  We presented our faculty with their history
and

canceled.  Regretably, they still have payment for the two years we
haven't

gotten.

We also canceled Journal of Communication, unwilling to go with the
costly

baggage.  To the delight of relevant faculty, we were able to subscribe
to

seven titles to replace it.  (I kid you not.)  I should thank Blackwell
for

shaking us out of our complacency.
