ALR oddity

We discovered an oddity with the ALRs. A patron retrieved the cite 2003
ALR 5th 3 from the print index to the ALRs. We ended up going to Westlaw
since the citation didn't make sense. The corresponding ALR entry has the
following note: "This annotation has not been released for publication in
ALR and is subject to revision or withdrawal."

There would be no way for our patron to retrieve this article without
access to Westlaw. Why is it in the print index if it's not in the print
set? There are already unpublished court decisions, but now there are
apparently unpublished ALR essays.

Just thought I'd share with the group what we learned this afternoon.
