It was suggested to me that readers of this EDG might find the attached
of interest.
--------------
The following tables may be of interest to other PAM'ers. They are taken
from our serials records and include only those journals for which the
Princeton Math-Physics library has a subscription and for which we have
received 1993 renewal invoices. Some journals from very minor publishers that
cost less than $200 are not included. The no. of titles count is not accurate
because combined subscriptions are counted as one title. For some reason, we
have received only one invoice from our favorite publisher, Gordon and Breach.
In the subject table, Mathematics does not include computer science, which
is collected by Engineering, and physics only includes a few astronomy journals
have a separate Astronomy Library.
