Subject: State Department *Background Notes*

After a long hiatus, my institution has received the latest batch of
State Department *Background Notes* in print.  This group, however,
lacks volume and issue numbering.  Based on what I've seen on the State
Department website and OCLC, there is nothing to indicate a change in
publishing practice.  The last numbered issue was v. 98, no. 42.  Has
anyone had problems with this publication lately or have any information
about a change?
Thanks.
