Today my serials department received three "Notice of renewal/New order
offer"s from what is probably the same company.  Two of them said they
were from "United Publishers Network" and one (printed on the exact same
form) said it was from "Publishers Consolidated Subscription Services."
  Each listed the same toll-free number to call for customer service.  I
called, and got through on the third try.  The person I spoke with
agreed to take my library off its mailing list.  Whether it has actually
done so remains to be seen, of course, but it's probably worth your time
to call and make the demand anyway.
