In many cases, it's much worse than this.  Earlier this year, I attempted to
find some copies of the ICCA at my university (Indiana University).  Since they
didn't have any, I looked into whatever universities were in their library loan
system (at least most/all of the universities in Indiana), but none of them
seemed to have any copies of any issues.

I think if I could see some of the back issues without actually ordering them
first, I could make a much better decision whether to subscribe to the Journal.
As it is, I pretty much know nothing about the organization, and so I'm
reluctant to send any money to them (as I'm a very poor college student at the
moment, even a little bit of money can be too much).
