Library
The Publisher is my Tormentor, I shall not smile; He maketh me to work all the day at my desk. He leadeth me astray with misnumbered issues; His Roman numerals confound me; He changeth titles over and over for His own sake. Yea, when I walk through the shadow of missing or irregular Issues, I can find no respite, for He hath moved; He answereth not my letters not useth the correct mailing
label; He starteth not when I ask and quitteth before it is time; My work never endeth; Rising prices and duplicate issues shall follow me all the
days of my life; And I shall moan and groan in the library forever. Mary Maker As quoted in The Serials

No
item or collection of items in today’s library is so studied yet
mysterious, so vilified yet revered, so used yet abused, as the serial. In
fact, most of us cannot even agree on how to define a serial: Not unlike
the fragile relationship that usually exists between two young lovers--you
can’t live with them, and you can’t live without them! Philip E.N. Greene, III The Serials Librarian v.11:no.3/4(1986:Dec./1987:Jan.)
