Just as an experiment, I tried plugging the ISSN (which occurs in the 
header of every issue) as the first argument of a Google search, 
followed by the phrase, author, subject I was interested in as a "+" 
argument.  Returns are fairly concise, adding only additional places 
where the original articles were cited of redistributed.  I found the 
first issue (by design) by searching for 1060-2356 +"Optical Disc".  
Additional references in later issues all seemed to be correctly found.
