How does one evaluate and select Internet resources--and once selected, how are they cataloged and maintained?
What is the role of the paper-based journal . . . from a publisher's perspective?
How is electronic publishing making inroads in scholarly publishing?
How should we bridge the gap between the Internet and libraries?
What's the best way to educate and retrain serialists for change?

From technical service concerns and customer relations to management strategies and working with the Web, the variety of topics covered in this book helps confirm that today's serialist must contend with and manage new formats, new standards, and new technologies.
