<div>I haven't ordered through Amazon for my library but I have for myself. My biggest drawback is that it automatically renews each year without warning- ie: I see on my credit card that I have been charged again. And it doesn't renew at a discounted price but at whatever full price is. You might be able to turn off automatic renewal but usually you get a better price the first year if you have it turned on.

<div>I will say that I used Amazon to look for some new magazines back in November as it seemed many of the magazines we were getting kept ceasing publication. The company we use was able to get all of them for us which was a huge plus. Price was the same too as Amazon too.</div>

<br /></div>
<div>Good luck!</div>

<br />> > <font color="#000000">Hi
all,</font>
<br />> > <font color="#000000">We
are evaluating our magazine collection which is rather extensive and we will
probably be downsizing based on data we are currently collecting. We have been
using an out-of-state subscription service but have had some issues. We are
thinking of switching to Amazon next year. If you've been ordering from
them, what are your feelings? Thank you in advance for your
input.</font>
