---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 16 Nov 1999 13:32:56 -0500 From: Susan Davis <unlsdb@ACSU.BUFFALO.EDU> Subject: Re: Standard Corporation Descriptions (Karen Chobot) We just received the Sept.1999 issue of this title, inside is a letter explaining what is happening. Essentially S&P has launched a new editorial and production system which has made a significant change in the Standard Corporate Descriptions. SCD will now be published monthly. The letter says to call with questions: 212-438-3649 Noelle Shea, Product Manager But we usually call customer service at 212-208-8768 when we have a problem. We know that there will still be more fallout from the Moodys/Mergent switchover, I guess Standard & Poors didn't want to be left out. :-) Susan Davis ############################################################################ Susan Davis Head, Periodicals Central Technical Services University at Buffalo Lockwood Library Bldg.
