Description
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.
