Their subscription department phone number is 386 447-6326. The woman I spoke with was helpful about arranging the subscription, but questioned why we would want to go through an agency. She hadn’t realized how cumbersome it is to deal with publishers individually for each of hundreds of titles!
As for the breakdown in the publisher-jobber arrangement, the people I speak with on both ends don’t really know why it’s now direct only. It certainly was easier to order via EBSCO. Are those of you who have been subscribing through other jobbers still able to do so?

Does anyone have the federal ID # and contact info for claiming for this title which is now a “must order direct” title.
Thanks!
