Hello,
Supplements have been the bane of my professional life forever, whether in print or electronic. Sometimes supplements are included in the subscription, sometimes not. Supplements float in never-never land. Sometimes
the only time you know about a supplement is when a patron comes in with a supplement citation.
For the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association Monograph Series, there is a mention on the verso of the title page for a handful of volumes that make up the series. The Psychoanalytic Electronic Publishing
(PEP) platform has digitized the supplements and appear under the year of the volume it is attached to. Sage on HighWire has very rarely heard of the word supplement regardless of title.
Supplements point up the fallacy to the statement that everything is online.

Subject: [SERIALST] Supplements
I had a query from a reference librarian regarding supplements - specifically,
When we subscribe to a journal, how do we know whether or not the supplements are included in our subscription?
We had an ILL request for an article in a supplement to the
Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association. We have an electronic subscription to the title, but apparently the supplements are not included in that. She went on to check Sage, and there are no supplements with any of our online backfiles,
and no mention of supplements - if there are any, the dates, or how to obtain them. Neither is there information regarding them in the Ulrich’s profile for the journal.
It seems odd to me. I would think we should be getting them - or there should be a two-tier pricing system, with and without. What sayeth the Serialst brain bank?
