Additional Notes

The following Standing Orders we still receive but no longer catalog (they were weeded around 2006-2007). The publisher still sends us ‘left-over’ copies of their publications, but we no longer pay. These are generally thrown in the books recycling bin.

  • Maryland Reports
  • Maryland Advance Reports
  • Old issues of Michie’s
  • Maryland Appellate Reports
  • Advance Code Service

Certain Standing Orders may have an empty holding automatically created (includes ‘Brill’s New Pauly’ encyclopedias and possibly others). When new volumes arrive, unlink from the empty holding and link to full-level standing order holding; add item as usual.
