Thanks to everyone who replied both to the list and personally regarding
  our bindery problem.  In quick summary, oversewing and notching [top
  choice] seem to be the way to go for these slippery pages.  Our bindery
  currently oversews when they can and is planning to implement a notching
  system soon, so hopefully we can get our medical journals cleaned up.
  Thanks again to everyone.

  Oddity of the Day:

  Wisconsin Women's Law Journal -- This title is semiannual.  In July
  1997, we received v.12 #1 Spring 1997.  In November 1997, we received
  v.11 #3 Summer 1997.  We called the publisher thinking that this was a
  misprint and should be #2 of volume 12, however they said that they
  decided to add a third issue to volume 11 from 1996.  And although my
  coworker try to talk them out of it, they were adamant that it would
  remain v.11 #3.  Hope the info helps --

        Happy Holidays --
