HI

Our library has discussed this problem at length and at present are:

1. Not binding the electronic green pages as on a Medline search these
are
identified by   e   before the page number and our clients have access
to
Pediatrics electronically.

2. Printing the electronic supplements which are paginated but not
binding
with the  actual volume. We spiral bind these but insert a page in the
bound
volume at the appropriate page directing patrons  to the spiral volume.

For me this is a major problem. I see these electronic  supplements from
Pediatrics as being the tip of the  iceberg. Circulation is now
producing
electronic pages and it won't be long before other journals follow suit.
I
have no problem with electronic pages per se as long as they don't form
part
of the pagination sequence. For a small library with few staff, we can
not
cope with the extra work load involved in printing out  extensive
electronic
supplements.

I. too am interested in how other libraries are handling this issue.

Thanks

>
> "Pediatrics electronic pages is the internet section of the journal
> PEDIATRICS, providing additional original pediatric research over the
> WEB. ... These articles are indexed in Index Medicus, MEDLINE, and
> PubMed, among other services. Abstracts of articles in PEDIATRICS
> electronic pages appear in every issue of PEDIATRICS in this section,
> wihch is differentiated by special green pages.  The complete original

> Originally we bound the individual issues and supplements, leaving these

> IF SO, where do you place it in the bound volume? (a. After each issue /
