Re: Serials Solutions vs. SFX Linda Wobbe 29 Mar 2010 17:30 UTC

Our Periodicals Manager recently noticed the same thing.
 And we use SerialsSolutions.  They also represent JSTOR
holdings as closed holdings that they add to each year,
eventually.  I think JSTOR might be the source of the
problem.  We should complain to them, perhaps.
