Call for submissions: Acquisitions Issue in Serials Management

In my role as editor of a new column in _The Serials
Librarian_ 
entitled "Acquisitions Issues in Serials
Management," I would 
like extend an invitation to any who might be interested in

contributing.

The inaugural column, which explains its scope and offers
many 
ideas for topics, can be read here:

Among the topics suggested are the following:

* Price inflation
* Exponentially increasing complexity in the marketplace
* Open Access
* Big Deals
* Collection development in an online environment
* Serials work as public service
* The subscription model itself
* Vendor relations

>From the Haworth Press catalog: "_The Serials
Librarian_ is a 
peer-reviewed and widely subscribed-to, international
journal 
devoted to the management of continuing resources that has
been 
published by The Haworth Press, Inc. since 1976. The journal

today is still a leader in the field, covering the many
aspects 
of the management of serials and other types of continuing 
resources in all formats, with emphasis upon electronic 
publications."

I look forward to hearing from any who would be interested
in 
contributing to this new column.  Please note that my
contact 
information has changed since the column was published; my 
correct contact info is below.
