Re: The state of serials today Adam Chesler 22 Feb 2006 14:16 UTC
The North American Serials Interest Group (NASIG) focuses on serials and meets annually in the spring (registration is now open for the 2006 meeting being held May 4-7 in Denver). Further information is on the NASIG web site, located at www.nasig.org. The journal Serials Review should also have some useful information.
