Marcia Tuttle's work is indeed a classic and is used in various library
programs to teach serials.  In addition to the other titles that have
already been mentioned, you might also want to peruse: _Serials
Management:  A Practical Guide_ by Chiou-sen, Dora Chen and _Notes for
Serials Cataloging_ by Beverley Geer and Beatrice Caraway.  And don't
forget to check out the web site for NASIG (the North American Serials
Interest Group) -- an organization that encourages dialogue and exchange
of information for folks working with, or interested in working with, any
and all aspects of the "serials information chain" -- at

I am nearing completion of my MLIS degree from the University of Denver
and want to specialize in serials work after graduation (I am already
doing serials check-in at our library).  I am interested in getting
suggestions from list participants about what you find to be the best
resources (books, serials, or electronic) that could help me focus the
general cataloging and collection management courses I have taken to
serials-specific situations.  Since my program has no courses dealing
specifically with serials issues, I'm on my own, sort of, with your help,
hopefully!

Please respond to my e-mail address below, and if there is sufficient
response, I will post a summary back to the list.  Thank you!
