Focusing on the management of serials in libraries and the role of serials in scholarly communications, this book combines descriptive and prescriptive approaches to illuminate major serials management issues. Unlike other works on the subject, this text emphasizes collection management issues-serials evaluation/selection criteria, cancellation, weeding, document delivery, budgeting, decision models, use studies, journal ranking, and the application of citation analysis (including use of the Journal Citation Reports and Bradfordian distribution).

Editorial Reviews

Booknews
Serials pose one of the greatest challenges for library and information science professionals, according to Nisonger (library and information science, Indiana U.). For 1995-96, the median expenditure of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) university libraries on serial subscriptions far exceeded that for books. The author details the paradigm shift, and ensuant issues, from ownership of periodicals to a mixture of ownership and access facilitated by electronic media. Discussion highlights collection management decision-making primarily for academic libraries, the historical development of print and electronic serials, the role of serials in scholarly communication, and future trends. Appends sources of statistical data on serials, serials bibliographies, and pertinent web sites. Indexed by author and title. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
