_THE SERIALS LIBRARIAN_  SPECIAL ISSUE

Serials & Continuing Resources in the Library: 
New Frontiers in Access, Acquisition & Ownership

If the past is an indicator, current, emerging and yet-to-be Net and
Web features and functionalities will have a significant impact on the
content and publishing of serials and continuing resources, as well as
on those institutions that historically have assumed the role of
maintaining and assuring current and long-term access to these
publications, notably academic, public, research, and special libraries,
among many other organizations.

To commemorate the publication of the 50th volume of _The Serials
Librarian_, submissions are invited that envision, review, or speculate
on topics falling into one or more of the following broad categories:

*	The Future of Serials and Continuing Resources

*	The Future Role and Place of Serials in Libraries

*	The Future of Libraries in General.

The categories are intentionally broad to allow contributors to think
openly about any and all potential possibilities.

This special issue will be published as volume 51, numbers ½ of _The
Serials Librarian_.  
NOTE: The deadline for submissions is November 1, 2005.

Authors should consult the 'Instructions for Authors' section of a
recent issue of _The Serials Librarian_ for detailed guidelines and
style requirements.

Submissions should be sent via e-mail preferably as an attached  MS
Word document to Gerry McKiernan, Associate Professor and Science and
Technology Librarian, Iowa State University Library, e-mail:
gerrymck at iastate.edu .
