Sandra,
Welcome to the wonderful world of ABI. We take the journals ABI Global
from Proquest. At Aston we feel that we have to individually check each
title as the updates that I receive from the publisher and via the
administration page on the web are not 100% accurate. It is very time
consuming but it is something I have come to terms with as ABI are not the
only ones that we have problems with.
