Do any of you know of a US based vendor through whom we can obtain subscriptions to 1) Journal of Operational Research Society and 2) Radio Communications? These are British publications; our vendor, Faxon, cannot supply them. We are a navy library and our finance office will not send money to a foreign country. We have now missed two years of the above publications. Any assistance will be gratefully received. 2. Have any of you used publishers catalogs on Internet? What has been your experience? Are they worth tracking down? Do you have any addresses? Thanks so much!

I know a professor that heard from someone who heard from someone...that they have a good video he wants but he can't give me any more information than the name "Roundtable" for the vendor. (Does anyone else run up against this type of problem?!!!). Thanks in advance for the help!
