Serials represent the single most important vehicle for global
scholarly communication. Thanks to rising subscription costs and
volatile publishing patterns, their acquisition and management
present substantial challenges to librarians, particularly in
developing countries without a national bibliographic agency or
widespread library education.
Geared toward non-specialists and beginners, this handbook
presents the best practice methods in all areas of serials
management: definitions, acquisition, bibliographic control,
conservation and preservation, access, standards, and education and
training.
The text concentrates on aspects that can be performed in a
non-automated environment with a concluding chapter devoted to
paths of future development, including small-scale automation and
the use of CD-ROM. A final series of seven annexes provide model
forms, rules and standards, listings of relevant international
bodies, and other resources to assist librarians in their daily
work. (IFLA Publication. Vol. 77)
