RE: subscription numbers and licensing
Dear David,
We solved this problem by a primitive but efficient way:
Since Jan 1st, 1998, the person opening the mail, instead of throwing the
wrappers away, FILES THEM in AB order of the journal title in a folder.
She also marks, in a computer-generated list of all our current titles, a
sign near each title whose wrapper she had collected, in order not to
collect the same wrapper endless times (imagine: weeklies...) Evidently,
as time passes, she has to file less and less wrappers.
Regards - Idith
