The Electronic Journal

This book explores the possibilities available to libraries with the increased use of electronic means for serials publications. The reality of the electronic journal raises a multitude of questions that will affect journal publishers, suppliers and library patrons. Based upon a seminar sponsored by the Australian Serials Special Interest Groups and the Australian Council of Libraries and Information Services, "The Electronic Journal" outlines the issues, indicates major trends, and sets challenges for libraries and publishers concerning new technologies and serials. This monograph is published simultaneously as Australian and New Zealand Journal of Serials Librarianship, Volume 3, Number 2.
