Important News re: 2003 Journal Subscriptions

Posted: February 19th, 2003

In late December 2002, we learned that one of our major serials vendors was in serious financial difficulty and had neither instructed publishers to renew our subscriptions nor forwarded payment to them.Approximately 280 subscriptions had been placed through this vendor. We are working hard to shift our subscriptions to other vendors as quickly as possible. However, this is a very late time to be renewing subscriptions with publishers, and we are concerned that we may not receive many issues for the first three months of this year, or that there will be a noticeable time delay.

We ask for your patience and understanding as we deal with this unexpected crisis.
