The new version of EBSCONET is much better than the last one. You can
actually get reports sent to you involving many variables. Our Rep told us
if we didn't see it on the list, she could get one published for us. We
mentioned a report to reflect price increases and she said that was
available online, but she would be glad to do it for us if we liked. The
company appears to be amenable to deriving any kind of report as long as the
raw data is in the database. Contact your Rep.

Subject: [SERIALST] Renewal numbers

Hello:

For those who use EBSCO, I have noticed that the prices on the renewal
list last year were about 15% below what the actual invoice turned out
to be.  This year's renewal list total is below last year's invoice
total, so I know this is not accurate.  How would I go about deciding
what to tell my director when he wants some numbes to take to the dean
reflecting individual title increases?  Thanks for any insight....

Journey well,

David R. Powell
