Subject: Re: Collection development policies for serials (Ellen Simmons)

Dear Ellen
I would be very interested in your responses. I too run the serials
department of a small academic library. Uptil now I have ordered according
to faculty requests and my own initiative. Not very professional, thus
creating an uneven collection.
Please be in touch with me on or off the list.
