However, the articles appeared in a journal which is not included in Citations for Serial Literature. As the editor of this index, I confess to an initial ambivalence about including these two citations. On the one hand, I felt that consistency in what is being indexed is a positive characteristic. On the other hand, serialists might miss these articles if they don't generally scan the journal in which they originally appeared. As an experiment, I've decided to include these two citations in a new section of the index entitled "Seredipitous citings". I would very much like to hear users' reactions to this new section. In addition, users who find relevant citations in journals not generally indexed here are encouraged to send them to me for inclusion in this new section. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NEWSLETTER ON SERIALS PRICING ISSUES NO 68 -- January 18, 1993 Editor: Marcia Tuttle CONTENTS 68.1 PROPOSED CHANGE TO NSF GRANT POLICY, Eleanor Uhlinger 68.2 COMMENTS ON NSF PAGE CHARGE POLICY, Ann Okerson 68.3 NSF PROPOSAL OF INTEREST, Albert Henderson ----------------------------------------------------------- NEWSLETTER ON SERIALS PRICING ISSUES NO 69 -- January 19, 1993 Editor: Marcia Tuttle CONTENTS 69.1 FROM THE EDITOR, Marcia Tuttle 69.2 RESPONSE TO ALBERT HENDERSON'S COMMENTS IN NO. 67 69.3 UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN ONTARIO SERIALS CANCELLATION, John Clouston 69.4 LETTER TO THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY, Christina McCawley 69.5 FROM THE MAILBOX ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The NEWSLETTER ON SERIALS PRICING ISSUES (ISSN: 1046-3410) is published by the editor through the Office of Information Technology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, as news is available.

Klotzer, with appendixes by Eleanor S. Block The birth of the modern journalism reviews in the United States is rooted in local coverage of the 1968 Democratic national convention in Chicago and the police violence in the streets that accompanied it. "When the convention was over and the national press had left town," wrote Chicago Journalism Review co-founder Ron Dorfman, "local editors proceeded, deliberately and shamelessly, to rewrite history in an effort to patch up Chicago's reputation as `the city that works.'" To do this, Chicago newspapers told their readers that their own reporters had lied. Outraged, scores of reporters raised funds from local sources and published the first issue of CJR, the prototype for nearly 30 others to emerge in the United States. One of the longest surviving of that tradition, the St. Louis Journalism Review, is reviewed here by its founder and publisher. An appendix lists current and no longer published reviews of newspaper and/or magazine journalism. Page 7 A Comparison of Two Methodologies for Counting Current Periodical Use Maiken Naylor The use study is one concrete bit of evidence we can produce to lend weight to decisions we make in libraries, and we would like to think these results are as close to reality as possible. But they are hard to implement, and they are expensive. Further, patrons don't always cooperate as expected. If we decide to count items while reshelving them, patrons thwart us by doing their own reshelving; if we ask them to check off their use on the cover, they frequently don't bother to do so. Do different methods of counting produce different results? What are their limitations? This article compares two such methods utilized in journal use studies, and evaluates the results. Page 27 "Series of Static, Semistatic and Peripatetic Intellectual Dialogues": Serials Devoted to James Joyce William S. Brockman Since James Joyce's death in 1941, some twenty serials devoted to his life and work have united a community of writers and readers. His wide popularity and influence, together with his reputation for obscurity, have encouraged diverse critical viewpoints and inspired a multitude of explications. Through five decades, these journals and series have provided a forum for perspectives that have evolved from simple biographical reminiscences to applications of any number of critical theories. In format and content, they have covered a wide gamut that ranges from collections of substantial scholarly articles to tabloid-sized reviews to newsletters reporting on current conferences. This survey examines the history and important contributions of each title. Page 35 Index Medicus Price Study: Publishing Trends from 1988 to 1992 Lynn M. Fortney and Victor A. Basile This third edition of the Index Medicus Price Study examines biomedical journal publishing trends over a five-year period (1988-1992) and analyzes these trends by subject category and country of publication. Its purpose is to provide librarians with information about inflationary trends within specific disciplines and enable them to educate their constituents about the financial requirements necessary to support the various medical specialties. Page 43 Fashion Merchandising Periodicals: A Selected, Annotated Bibliography Martha K. Tarlton and Suzanne V. LaBrecque In the past twenty years, fashion merchandising has become the major of choice for the majority of students in the field of clothing and textiles. The increase in the number of majors is due to the changing retail marketplace and the varied and growing number of career options for graduates. Librarians who are developing a serials collection to support academic programs in fashion merchandising need to be aware of the resources that support this field of study. This article serves as an annotated bibliography for a core collection of relevant periodicals. It categorizes the periodical literature into four sections: raw materials and manufacturing, retailing and general marketing, fashion merchandising trade publications, and scholarly journals. Page 63 The Balance Point: Serials Acquisitions and the Third World: The Latin American Perspective: Part II Dan C. Hazen, Guest Editor, with contributions from Peter T. Johnson, Terry C. Peet, and Deborah Jakubs This second and concluding column on Latin American serials continues our examination of the peculiarities, importance, and challenges of these materials. Examinations of serial documentation from Latin America's marginalized groups, of the flexible approaches toward Latin American serials at the Library of Congress, and of appropriate possibilities and expectations for cooperative collection development thus round out our discussion. Together, these two columns make the case for Latin American serials. Our enthusiasm for new information formats, our struggles to control costs, and our dismay at materials so demanding of extraordinary efforts must be balanced with an appreciation of these resources and of the unique perspectives they provide. Page 71 Meeting Undergraduate Literature Needs with ILL/Document Delivery Mary Ann Chappell How does an academic library meet the literature needs of users for materials it can't afford to own? As Chappell explains in this article, serials cutbacks and criticism from students forced Carrier Library at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia to confront this issue. Like many libraries, Carrier Library looked at interlibrary loan and document delivery as an alternative to ownership. Working with the research libraries at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and the University of Virginia, Carrier Library developed a pilot document delivery program based on next-day delivery to meet undergraduate literature needs.
