If this is true on a broad scale, I've never been notified of it from
any of the institutions I attended - but it would certainly make life
easier.  If I had access to the library resources of the large public
university where I graduated, the small private school library where I
work might not have as much work to do for myself or many of the
faculty and staff.  If this is true, then either I have less to worry
about in the serials crisis at my small school, or I should be even
more concerned about how it is settled at the large one.  Or both.
