Hi,

Does anyone know of a reliable source of information to ascertain the total
number of English print periodical titles available in the market for
various subjects, eg. Accounting, Basketball, Computers, etc.? I tried
using Ulrich's (both the CD-ROM and the print version). However, to arrive
at a reasonable guess figure itself seems difficult and would take too much
time, as title listings by subject include all formats and all languages.
Does anyone has any suggestion to offer? Would appreciate that. Thanks.
