Bailey, Charles W., Jr. "Networked-based Electronic Serials" Information
Technology and Libraries 11(1) (March 1992):29-35. The revolution of
electronic publishing has created both opportunities and difficult questions
for librarians interested in providing access to electronic serials. Mr.
Bailey points out several problems of providing access to serial materials
which are available only via commercial electronic information systems (e.g.
preservation, cost, availability, etc.). While these problems are quite real,
the most significant opportunities in electronic publishing may very well
reside within the non-commercial international computer networks. And while
much of the information currently published on the net still mimics the
paper equivalent, he foresees a move toward complex multimedia information
systems, and hence different publishing "packages" than those currently used.
Mr. Bailey considers the question of whether electronic conferences could be
construed as serials. His conclusion is, appropriately, inconclusive, "Are they
serials? Quite possibly." [Quite possibly they are beasts of a new kind, not
yet defined nor treated by current cataloging standards. -lr] In considering
the future of electronic serials, Mr. Bailey identifies 12 pressing problems
which still need to be overcome (regarding storage, archiving, intellectual
property laws, indexing, etc.). The article ends with an stirring call to
action on the behalf of networked-based electronic serials. - LR
