Serials are important enough to warrant separate treatment. Specialized knowledge and skill are required to handle serials. Serials’ unique nature requires different treatment than other formats. Better coordination, cooperation, and communications are fostered. Duplicate record keeping is avoided. Most serials organization has been based on the idiosyncratic requirements of particular libraries rather than long-range planning theory, research is lacking about the two forms’ relative effectiveness and it is uncertain which model will work best for future technological developments. Some important issues like—introduction; cataloguing of serials; CONSER project of serials; automation of serials; role of standards in serials automation; serials librarian; serials education; budgeting of serials etc. are given exhaustive treatment in this book.
