Re: C/C++ Users Journal Heather Ashworth 02 Dec 1997 02:11 UTC

Dear Barbara,

No, you aren't alone in this one. It would be one of the most difficult
titles to find on an automated system.
Our University Library runs DRA and I had to try several versions of
entering the title before the system actually retreived it.
C/C ++ users journal and/or C C ++ users journal worked. There is no
keyword searching in the serials/acquisitions module which makes
life difficult at times.

Heather Ashworth.
