Really a must-see for every Reference Librarian. Just found this blog through a fellow Maine Librarian. Awesome! :)

I still use it sometimes to see if another library in the area might have something in a database we don’t have.

We looked at subscribing to the Serial Solutions engine a couple years ago, because it really is just so useful. And thank you for reading.

We get it through our state consortium (Calif Community Colleges) and it is the best $800 a year we will ever spend. It is easy to configure to your own library’s holdings!
Thanks for an enjoyable blog.
