Some examples include: American Ceramics (this history is 4 volumes over 7 years - nothing printed in 2001; pub note was v.14, 2001 rescheduled 2001->2002) v.11:4, 1995 v.12:1, Wint 1995 v.12:2 1996 v.12:3 Spring 1997 v.12:4 Summer 1997 v.13:1 Fall 1998 v.13:2 Winter 1999 v.13:3 Spring 2000 v.13:4 Summer 2000 v.14:1 Fall 2002 v.14:2 Winter 2002 American Journal of Education (1/10/03 publisher letter: there will not be any issues dated 2002) 109:3 May 2001 Next issue due is v.110:4, Nov 2003. Foodservice Research International (went from 4/yr to 3/yr but kept the issue numbers at 4/vol) v.11:1 March 1999 v.11:2 June 1999 v.11:3 September 1999 v.11:4 December 1999 v.12:1 April 2000 v.12:2 October 2000 v.12:3 December 2000 v.12:4 April 2001 v.13:1 October 2001 v.13:2 December 2001 v.13:3 April 2002 v.13:4 July 2002 International Journal of Hospitality Information Technology (takes 2 years to complete 1 volume) v.1:1 Fall 1999 v.1:2 Spring 2000 v.2:1 Spring-Summer 2001 v.2:2 Fall-Winter 2002 Journal of Education (pub note: rescheduled v.183, 2001 -> 2002) v.182:1 Winter 2000 v.182:2 Spring 2000 v.182:3 Fall 2000 v.183:1 Winter 2002 v.183:2 Spring 2002 These are just a few of the "simple" problems that have developed from publishers trying to catch up with titles that have fallen behind in publishing. I expect to see more of the problem publishers doing more skipping of years and combining issues to get caught up. Watch those little publisher statements inside issues and even check the Internet if you can. Thought you would like to know about what is really going on and that you are not alone in dealing with these weird problems. Though the idea of skipping the year 2001 would be nice if we could just erase the damage that was done then.
