WKU
Libraries has a centralized Serials Unit for all serials ordering, payments,
check-in, processing, cataloging, claims, bindery preparation. Guidelines
for new serials titles are available and requests can be
made through faculty
library representatives or by contacting the Collection
Services Coordinator. A completed Serials Request Form starts
the review process for new titles.
The
Serials Unit handles approximately 4,000 current subscriptions to scholarly
journals, periodicals,
newspapers,
microforms,
and electronic
resources. The average price of a serial title for WKU Libraries
is $220.00.
Serials information is regularly updated on TOPCAT.
WKU Libraries is the third largest contributor to KULS (Kentucky Union
List of Serials), a database that facilitates interlibrary
lending.
