A continuing source of information for serials specialists is, of course, the printed literature. Most professionals during their formal training are encouraged to begin "getting into" the literature, and this advice is perhaps even more important for the practitioner. A wealth of material is printed every year, and if a person is conscientious and pursues even a small portion of it, much information can be gained. The present book is designed to bring together succinct information on the topics. The readings compiled herein are derived from various authoritative sources. The information is grouped under eleven chapters namely-Collection management of series; Serials education; Storage and preservation of Serials; Serials automation; Standards and serials; Acquisition methods; Financial control and budgeting; Cataloguing and classification; CONSER and national database; Non-traditional library employment; Cataloguing serials etc.
