In the first anthology of this kind, Tony Stankus knowledgeably brings together from a variety of sources the major issues involved in the collection of scientific journals. Science librarians, serials librarians, and acquisitions librariansfaced with the difficult task of selecting and deselecting expensive scientific journals in the face of enormous faculty and budgetary pressuresneed this valuable volume that focuses on the collection management process. If they are willing to examine the literature, librarians can learn to anticipate, teach, and control faculty demands for periodicals.Tony Stankus, a nationally published specialist in the field, working from the premise that scientists tend to know much more about their subject than about their journals, examines the rationale for journal choices, journals and tenure, journals and budgeting, and the elements of a good journal. He shows librarians how to penetrate the internal structure of some imposing technical literatures in a way that can help them make responsible collection management decisions that even their science clientele will respect.
