Re: Subscriptions that include extra titles - Correction Koveleskie, Judith 19 Mar 2009 20:20 UTC
Something got cut from my previous e-mail, so it make no sense. We discard newsletters and things which have minimal value. However, many of our "comes with" titles are scholarly journals. So we include them with our collection, just as if they had come individually. Judith A.

Maybe the "extras" are no longer being published or there is a different package in place now. We don't consider these freebies. Somehow, they are included in the cost of the subscription that they come with. We discard our collection, whether it comes singly or with something else. Judith A.

I've noticed that several of our subscriptions used to include other titles but we're no longer receiving those extras. In addition, there are several titles that we subscribe to that are sending another title along with them as part of a package. Do I add these "freebies" to our catalog? Do I make a space for them on our display shelf? I'm now having to remove these other titles that have stopped coming from the display shelf, so I'm wondering what the best approach to this is.
