I wonder if I'll ever fully understand the World of Serials. I just got an email alert that Volume 10(3/4) 2005 of Internet Reference Services Quarterly is a special issue titled "Libraries and Google". We have a paper and electronic subscription so I checked and see that we received this 2005 volume one week ago. And the email notice I got claims, "This issue is now available online and will soon be mailed to subscribers in approximately 4-6 weeks." OK, whatever. It's here, and here's the interesting-sounding TOC - I haven't read any of 'em yet:
