U. S. serial services price index for 2000

摘要

This is the 37th annual survey of U.S. Serial Services, a product of the ALA/ALCTS Library Materials Price Index Committee, working in conjunction with Faxon, RoweCom (Formerly the Faxon Company). The selection of titles surveyed and the determination of prices were in accordance with the guidelines of the American National Standard for Library and Information sciences and Related Publishing Practices -- LIbrary Materials -- Criteria for Price Indexes (ANSI X39.20-1983). The standard defines a U.S. Serial Service as "a periodical publication that revises, cumulates, abstracts, or indexes information in a specific field on a regular basis by means of new or replacement issues, pages, or cards, intended to provide information otherwise not readily available."
