This book, first published in 1990, examines in detail 12 serials
departments, both large and small, that experts have selected as
representative examples of notable serials departments. The
departments have in common a general reputation in the serials
field as being good operations, in the sense of providing optimum
services to their users despite the challenges of current-day
problems in financial planning and collection re-evaluation and
shaping. The examples offered serve mainly to suggest what works
well in the serials operation today. Despite the lack of space
devoted to the good serials department or the often crisis-oriented
approach to serials problems that is occasionally emphasized in the
literature, the 'good serials operation' undeniably exists and
always has. Certain serials departments receive the utmost praise
from librarian colleagues and faculty/student users alike. This
authoritative volume shows that good serials librarianship remains
what it has always been - a means of providing serials and the
information in them to an ever-widening audience of readers and
researchers. Economic changes may alter the pattern of serials
department services, but they do not alter the real and ultimate
goals of the serials department.
