Four NUL Librarians Published in New Book on Serials

A new book co-edited by Harriet Lightman and John Blosser, Perspectives on Serials in the Hybrid Environment, was published last June by the Association for Library Collections & Technical Services/American Library Association. The book includes essays on serials-collecting in the sciences, reference departments, and specialized law and health sciences libraries, as well as articles on archiving and storage, and on the administration and management of serials departments in the new library environment.

The seven essays were written or co-written by a total of fourteen librarians, representing Northwestern as well as California Institute of Technology, Carnegie Mellon University, State University of New York-Buffalo, University of Maryland-Baltimore, Zayed University (Dubai), and the Research Library/Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Washington, DC).

Essays contributed by Northwestern University Librarians were:
John P. Blosser, "Issues of Archiving Content with an Eye toward the Future," pp. 1-17

Harriet Lightman, "The Challenge of Serials Collection Evaluation in a Changing Environment: Examples from Northwestern University Library," pp. 53-66

Robert C. Michaelson, Anna Wu Ren, and Dana L. Roth, "Science and Engineering Serials: Issues and Challenges in the Electronic Environment," pp. 37-52
