Request for resources on endangered or extinct serials, etc. Melissa Hartley 05 Jul 1999 01:42 UTC

I'm researching endangered or extinct serials for a library school paper.  I
have spent a couple of afternoons at it and haven't found much yet.  I'm
interested in identifying these serials, and any information available about
this condition.

I am also interested in the study of the material culture and aesthetics of
serials and other written or printed materials.  (I have found some
interesting things on material culture, and that is less of a problem, but
I'm open to suggestions).

There is much more information available on digital preservation -- perhaps
some information about endangered and extinct serials can be found there?
Can someone point me in the right direction?  What other terms are used to
describe this situation?

Thank you.
