This accessible, practical guide to serials management covers such traditional aspects as acquisition, evaluation, and authority control, and uses these and other functions to highlight changes in scholarly communication and underscore how these changes in turn necessitate improvements in practice. Peer review, the prevailing winds of rank and tenure, and the increasingly powerful role of consortia are but a few of the challenges discussed. A final section on teaching patrons to use journals reminds the reader that nonscholars too must be part of the dialogue.
