Re: New journal announcement Rothbaum, Ellen 17 Oct 2007 15:44 UTC
We will not order a journal simply because a publisher sends us a sample issue. There needs to be demand either for the title or it's subject matter, or it is relevant to a program that we need to enhance. Once we receive a journal, we look at the online usage which Blackwell, the publisher, provides. The price must be in line with the usage we expect.

I know it's not Friday yet but this has to be shared. We just received a sample issue (v.1no.1) of a new publication called "Child Development Perspectives." The publisher also publishes 2 sister publications that we subscribe to as core collection titles. I kid you not, this issue is 1/8in in width (63 pages.) It is going to be published biannually. The price? $543 (with "premium online subscription rates available including online access from present back to 1997 where available") I almost fell out of my chair laughing... Lisa Lisa S.
