About the Serials and Other Continuing Resources Section

Scope

The Section on Serials and Other Continuing Resources concerns itself with all issues which make serial publications unique in both the print and electronic environments. These include: bibliographic standards and control; holdings information; national and international library cooperation; access and availability; conservation and archiving; collection management and development; pricing issues; copyright; and, relationships with serial publishers, serial suppliers and other serials related organizations. The accelerating impact of technological developments on library serials procedures, liaison with suppliers and the serials publishing industry also fall within the remit of the Section. As access rather than ownership becomes an increasingly important issue, the Section is committed to working closely with the appropriate Core Activities and Standing Committees within.
