Relationships Among Faculty Ratings, Academic Area, and Price for Current Periodicals in a Large Land-Grant University Library. Librarians from the Sterling C. Evans Library at Texas A&M University conducted a serials review during which they asked each academic department to report its perception of the relevant current serials titles. In this article, the authors describe relationships among 1) departmental ratings and subscription costs, 2) the academic discipline and departmental ratings, and 3) the academic discipline and subscription costs. Of special interest was whether periodicals rated "essential" by the faculty tended to be more expensive than periodicals in other rating groups. Simple descriptive statistics are presented. Some of the findings indicate that science journals had the highest median prices while education journals had the lowest; the highest rated periodicals had the highest mean and median prices. Also, in an absolute sense, higher priced journals had larger absolute price increases, but the relationship between cost and relative price increases was more complex. Hawks, Carol Pitts.

The Audit Trail and Automated Acquisitions: Searching for Road Signs. Gordon, Martin. Accommodating Institutional Audit Requirements Within a Liberal Arts College Integrated Library System. By using an electronic spreadsheet in tandem with accounts payable activities in the fund-level specific acquisitions module of in an integrated library system (ILS), a library can assure itself of meeting institutional audit requirements. This additional step of T-ledger "journal" monitoring at the payee level does not involve a great deal of time when compared with the frustration of audit trail reconstruction relying solely on the limited sorting and proprietary data output capabilities of the ILS. In addition, true reconciliation with the institution's Business Office reports through use of this dual methodology provides the library with an accurate as well as timely cash balance figure at the close of progressive report periods. It also enables budget expenditure progress to be measured against previous calendar or fiscal year periods for both a random or cumulative average history. Hawks, Carol Pitts.
