The ALCTS Serials Section Announces a Name Change

The Section formerly known as Serials is now the Continuing Resources
Section.

The new name reflects trends in our profession, the materials that we work
with, and the digital information environment.

Do you subscribe to, license, organize, provide access to, or create
continuing resources?  Then come join us!

Here's our new Mission Statement:

Technical Services and within the American Library Association with respect
