In reply to Kathleen Hanrahan <KHANRAHAN@JCVAXA.JCU.EDU>:
There are 2 articles in _Serials Review_ on the arrangement of periodical
collections you might want to look at.
1. Segesta, Jim and Gary Hyslop. "The Arrangement of Periodicals in American
Academic Libraries." _Serials Review_ v. 17 n. 1 1991.
2. Thornton, Glenda Ann. "Physical Access to Periodical Literature: The
Dilemma Revisted and a Brief Look at the Future." _Serials Review_ v. 17 n.
4 1991.
I worked with Glenda at the University of North Texas when she wrote this
article. We were discussing the feasiblity of classifying a periodical
collection that was currently shelved by title. This article might give you
some insight into the various pros and cons of this issue.
I am certain there are other articles in the library literature as well.
