Blast them! Another title that does this is Billboard. Our microfiche supplier films the combined issue twice--once at the end of the earlier year/volume, again at the beginning of the new year/volume. They had us confused for awhile because our fiche was coming in beginning with no.1, when no.1 was not really published as such.

However, you're right - the website shows an article from the Jan. 16, 2002 issue. OTOH, none of the library's I normally search for issues has it. ***So, we're left guessing? Jeanette L.

Perhaps if more of us do that, they will be a little more alert/aware next time? Jeanette L. Skwor Serials Dept.
