Dear ERSG members,

While not strictly on-topic for the ERSG, the Periodicals Service
Company may be of interest to members seeking that 'hard-to-find' copy
of an obscure (or not so obscure) journal or monograph.

The PSC website operates in German, Spanish, French and English and
can be found at: http://www.periodicals.com/e/index.html

The text in quotes is from the PSC website:

"Academic journals, antiquarian backsets, back volumes, back issues
and reprints from Periodicals Service Company & Schmidt Periodicals GmbH

Partners with over 40 years experience, we are major reprinters of
academic journals and specialize in the supply of antiquarian
backsets, back volumes and back issues of out-of-print journals and
serials.

Our carefully selected stock of reprints and antiquarian backsets is
the largest in the world. Housed in the USA and Germany, we hold
backstock of journals in the major western languages, some 3.000.000
back volumes covering all subject areas.

Many important publishers rely on us to guarantee their back volumes
and back issues remain available. To view a selective list of
publishers with whom we have stock management and/or reprint
agreements, click here.

Our clients rely on our expertise to complete gaps in their
collections, increase their holdings or replace ageing, worn or
brittle originals with high quality reprints. These clients include:

• Serials and acquisitions librarians responsible for collection
management at universities, research institutes and other major libraries.
• Academics, professors, researchers, scholars and individual collectors.
• International companies, legal firms and government agencies.

Hoping this might be of assistance,

Robert Gosford
