I am editing a book for Haworth Press entitled "USAGE STATISTICS OF
E-SERIALS".

This book is a volume in the series "Haworth Series on Serials
Librarianship and Continuing Resources". It will be a collection of
essays by various library and publishing professionals such as yourself,
concerning the current environment in libraries for the acquisition,
development and utilization of usage statistics for e-serials. This will
look at both the benefits and problems associated with the current and
future state of usage statistics.

I would like to invite interested people to write a paper for this
collection. If you have a relevant topic in mind, please feel free to
share your idea with me; Otherwise, I have prepared a list of several
topics that could be relevant to this book that you may want to
consider; please find this listing at the bottom of this message.

We are projecting to have all manuscripts completed by the end of April
2004, so that editing and publishing tasks can be accomplished.

I would be pleased and honored to have some of you contribute your
thoughts to this project. Please contact me about your interest at
dfowler_at_iastate.edu and also let me know if I can answer any
questions for you.

Sincerely,

Dave Fowler
