description: Serials collections can be extremely challenging to manage and develop--and can consume as much as 75% of the annual acquisitions budget. Buying Serials unravels the complexities of identifying, ordering, receiving, and routing serials, as well as the relationships among libraries, vendors, and publishers. Topics covered include serial selection, subscription agency analysis, and evaluation of vendor performance. An appendix summarizes the range of automated services and products available.
