Hello,
Thank you for all of the helpful replies on- and off-list. Many of you suggested WT Cox as an alternate vendor.
I also learned that Hearst has gone through a period of requiring some of their popular titles to be ordered direct. Some of these titles were then available through a periodical jobber again. It seems like there isn't a one-fits-all solution to Hearst subscriptions.
We'll be doing more research on our Hearst titles, and I hope that this information is helpful for libraries in a similar situation.
Thank you, again,
Amy

Subject: Hearst publications: periodicals jobber
Please excuse cross-postings.
Hello,
Is there a periodicals jobber that works with Hearst publications / newspapers?
A number of our local interest newspapers and magazines are now Hearst publications. According to our EBSCO rep, they don't work with Hearst titles. I'm hoping another jobber can work with us on these subscriptions.
Thanks for any info that you can provide.
Best,
Amy
