Dear fellow serials librarians, 

I am trying to source copies of a publication called College Bazaar. It is a publication loosely affiliated with Harper's Bazaar that was marketed toward college women. The research fellow interested in this publication found a few issues on eBay and the likes, but we can't seem to find it in a library collection, including our own (and she has tried LOC and going direct to the publisher).

I reached out to ProQuest as they digitized Harper's Bazaar and they did not try to source it as part of that project as, "it [College Bazaar] seems to have been a separately-sold publication that did not form part of Harper’s Bazaar itself."

Any tips, tricks, or thoughts are welcome and appreciated! 

Shannon
