Now, you’re not likely to want even close to this number of medical titles. You may not even subscribe to any medical titles. But the point is that EBSCO is located virtually everywhere in the world that your titles could originate, no matter whether your library’s col­ lection consists of very broad or very narrow subject areas. “EBSCO’s database includes approximately 95,000 listings for titles published outside the U.S., and we operate 16 non-U.S. Regional Offices on 5 continents. Because our offices are staffed with knowledgeable serials profes­ sionals who literally ‘speak the language,’ we are able to maintain effective, personal contacts with publishers throughout the world. “With EBSCO you can choose to work with the General Manager and serials support staff in your region of the U.S. for all your subscrip­ tion needs, knowing they have the resources abroad to see that you receive superior service on your non-domestic serials. Or, if you prefer to deal directly with a nation of origin vendor, I or any of my colleagues in EBSCO offices around the world will be glad to work with you.” John Ben DeVette General Manager East Asia Regional Office Taipei, Taiwan International Headquarters P.O.
