Serials Information from Publisher to User : Practice, Programs and Progress: Proceedings of the North American Serials Interest Group (Routledge Library Editions: Library and Information Science)

This book, first published in 1988, examines serials publishing. By exploring the relationships among the librarian, publisher, and vendor, it builds a better understanding of these three positions. Discussions include the economics of journal publishing, the challenge of cataloguing computer files, and the developments in the bibliographic control of serials. Technical processing, cataloguing, pricing and budgeting, and career development topics are also explored.
