Abstract
The acquisition of periodicals is one of the more neglected areas of practical librarianship. There is a strong tendency among library managers to leave the handling of periodicals to junior staff once the initial decision‐making on the choice of agent has been made. The manager then only hears how the system is operating when something goes drastically wrong — by which time it is usually too late.
