I’m not sure if this is an issue confined to this title or more widespread and not a problem at all, but it’s the first time I’ve encountered it, and so I’m asking.

 

We have an electronic subscription to this title - changed over for 2011.  Today, in going through my student’s report on e-access subscriptions, I came to a note that we do not have access to the 2012 issue.   Of course, that happens once in a while - the pub doesn’t recognize the renewal, whatever.  But then I went in to check further - the student is exactly correct - the January - June 2012 issue is displayed, and we have no access.  However, going to the checkin record (because they are still sending us print issues also, something I’ve delayed in reporting) and lo and behold, we got the Jan-June issue May 3, and the July - Sept issue on May 23.

 

But the July - Sept issue is not online.

 

Is it usual to have that long of a delay, or is something else going on here?

 

Enquiring minds want to know . . .
