Subject: [SERIALST] Weird Question About ACS Web Editions and Archives

 

Hi, everyone.  A couple of our staff are a bit concerned about something and insisted on my checking it out.  One staff member happened to access the ACS Web Editions and browsed the A to Z Publications link.  He noticed that there are no titles past "O".  One of the other staff also thought this odd.  Both insisted that if the page is labeled A to Z Publications, wanting me to find out why there is nothing past "O" for Wed Editions.  There is one "P" title in the Archives.  I didn't really think it is that odd and publishers can call a journal whatever they want to call it and never cater to whims involving the alphabet.  With most publishers, I am pretty happy if we can access stuff when we need to and the open url linking works correctly.  Have any of you noticed this?  Are there any current ACS titles past "O"?

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

--
