Greetings all,

I searched the archives for posts about USBE (United States Book
Exchange)  and the most recent ones I found were from 2001.  They seemed
to indicate that using the services of this company was very labor
intensive.

I am relatively new to acquisitions and serials and yesterday I
received a renewal invoice from USBE.  I didn't even know we had a
subscription to renew (although given the date I should have seen one
last fall), but I did find evidence of purchases made in previous fiscal
years.  That aside, do you subscribe to USBE and do you find it useful?
Is it worth paying $150 for a "stars renewal"?

Thank you for sharing your collective wisdom.

Marynelle Chew
