Thanks for the info, Rich.
Our vendor also said the same – that the publication was going online-only, but that we’d be able to access all issues with a current subscription. Looking at the Cambio website today, it doesn’t seem like they are going to be able offer IP authentication, so I am wondering how they even distributing the weekly PDFs. Via email?
If we’re going to continue receiving print issues once a month, we will probably keep our subscription going for the year. However, we’ll have to look at whether it’s worth the cost for only 12 issues at that time, given that the online version is essentially useless to us.

Subject: [SERIALST] Cambio 16
Our vendor believed this title (ISSN 0211-285X) one was going online-only after no. 2120, but I just found out (after translating the publisher’s response to our vendor) that the print is going monthly but the online “issues” will be edited and published weekly as PDF files (apparently maintaining the consecutive numbering for each weekly online issue). I’m wondering how other libraries are handing this.
For now, I’ve added this note to our holdings record (not being a serial cataloger, I don’t edit bib records):
Beginning after no. 2120 (2012 Oct. 1), title continues to be edited and published in an online PDF version w/ individually-numbered weekly issues, but print is only monthly starting with "no. 2127 (2012 Nov. 12)" w/ non-consecutive numbering between issues.
Thanks in advance for any and all input.
