Description:... In this volume, the library-agency relationship is discussed from various points of view. Contributors focus on the use of subscription agents worldwide--in Africa, the Middle East, and Great Britain. Up-to-the-minute information on the effects of automation on the library-agency relationship is explored, including serials management systems; automated serials control over selection, acquisition, and utilization; serials databases using subscription agency files; and a most useful bibliography on automated subscription agency utilities and services.
