American Libraries, the magazine of the American Library Association, has recently released the 2002 edition of US Periodical Prices by Barbara Albee and Brenda Dingley. The price index is based on subscription price information supplied, compiled, and analyzed by divine/Faxon Library Services (formerly Faxon Library Services, RoweCom, Inc.). The report's tables and analysis measure changes in average US periodical prices in an historical context. On the whole, this report may be of use to librarians and others who prepare annual budget serial requests, as well as those involved in the analysis of serial pricing trends over a period of years.
