We have ordered directly from the publisher only in rare cases, and it has been a positive experience in all cases, as far as I can recall.

Subject: [SERIALST] Ordering direct from publishers

Greetings,

Does anyone out there have experience with circumventing a serials vendor and ordering (and claiming) journal titles direct from publishers? This is directed at libraries or library branches with smaller collections.

I'd be curious to hear of your experiences, positive and negative, if any of you have tried this, or are currently doing this.

Many thanks!
