Journals Added

The Professional Collection has added two new journals. These were subscribed to during the last add period and have finally started arriving. The first is McSweeney's Quarterly Concern. This literary journal began in 1998 and is edited by Dave Eggers. The format is a small hardcover book. The other new title is The CyberSkeptic's Guide to Internet Research. This newsletter contains Web sites, resources, and articles about the Internet for those who wish to be effective and efficient researchers. Both items are available for routing.

New Book

  • Magazines for Libraries (16th ed.) edited by Cheryl LaGuardia [created by Bill Katz]

FYI: This is the 2008 edition of this annual publication. Entries include title, ISSN, frequency & price, URL, peer-reviewed status, where indexed, intended audience, etc. Magazine titles are grouped by subject with both title and subject indices. This book is similar to Ulrich's Periodicals Directory, but the scope is limited to materials one might desire in a library. Of note in modern times, zines are also included.
