The UK Serials Group
Abstract
The first tentative steps towards establishing some form of organization catering for those interested in serials was taken after a conference organized by Blackwells, the Oxford booksellers, publishers and agents in 1975. Immediately following this conference, and profiting from the impetus created by those librarians present, another meeting was arranged at Leicester University consisting primarily of librarians, resulting in the formation of a small ad hoc working group to consider the matter further. No ‘brief’ was given to this committee but the feeling of the meeting as a whole was that what was needed was not another organization which merely organized meetings but one which would become a pressure group on behalf of interested bodies and individuals. Consequently it was resolved that a Serials Librarians Group be set up.
