Evans, Chap. 6

This chapter was interesting because I have read magazines all my life but did not realize the various  information about them. I am guilty of using all the words like journal and periodical interchangeably. I always thought of a journal as subject specific like a health or science journal that features articles related to research in the field. A magazine to me is like People or Newsweek or Sports Illustrated, something popular that comes out each week or month. It is a shame that this is another area where greed has taken over. I remember something in this chapter about a library paying a higher price than another library for a serial package if  the periodicals will be popular in that library. I was thinking of ASU while reading this chapter because of all the periodicals that library has. I bet they spend a small fortune each year for the print and electronic sources they provide.
