Our experience with Nature's customer service last year was very poor, and I hope someone from Nature will address this if he/she is lurking.

If enough people are missing the issue, would they reprint? Penny Lochner, Serials Librarian Trexler Library Muhlenberg College 2400 W.

I received 2 copies of no. 7075 but have yet to see issue no. 7072. It seems funny that so many people did not get this issue and that the publisher seems unwilling to replace it. Theresa Theresa M.

Just to make sure I wasn't hallucinating, I checked one of our databases to see if a January 5 issue was indexed and it was indexed. I finally just decided to bind that part incomplete. I tried to locate a replacement in BACKSERV and ALCTSDEU, as well as the missing issue bank but to no avail.

It sounds to me like it was never published.

I would be interested in knowing any information about the January 5, 2006 issue of Nature as well. We are a State Library and claim through EBSCO, and I have been claiming this particular issue for months. Finally, I contacted the publisher and they said there was no January 5, 2006 issue, that they only publish fifty-one weeks out of the year, not fifty-two, and that the gap allows them to "wrap things up for the year, and meet deadlines..." etc... That doesn't explain why there is an issue missing the last week of December, which coincides with their ACTUAL publication schedule stated in all their issues. (i.e. "Nature is published weekly on Thursday, except the last week in December...") We welcome any explanation with open arms! :)Jason
