We still have a somewhat busy periodicals section at our library, but it seems like a lot more of my time is spent handling all the changes with titles. It feels like a lot more titles are leaving EBSCO and moving to "Order Direct" status. Do those of you who use WT Cox have the same problems? Do any librarians use direct subscriptions at all, and if so, how do you manage and maintain them if they're all on different schedules?
