Standing Order model, cont'd Sarah Tusa 13 Sep 2006 21:52 UTC

The standing order model is alive and well, and I tend to agree that the
Haworth Press "journals" would better fit that model.

I do agree, however, that standing orders can be difficult to monitor.  (And
I'm glad to hear that someone has had better luck with EBSCO on that score
than I have!)  Still, given the fact that Haworth Press does not comply with
the standard subscription models very well (if at all), that may well be the
better way to go (i.e., as standing order titles), especially in light of
budgetary and auditing concerns.

For either model to work, however, the publisher must be responsive to status
inquiries and/or claims.
