----------------------------Original message---------------------------- In reply to the question about serials price increases, in (I think) the most recent issue of American Libraries is ALA's annual statistics on periodical prices. Data is analalyzed and presented in table form every which way. I believe it is limited to US periodical though, and does not include annuals. If I remeber correclty, the avg. increase projected for art was in the neighborhood of 3%. I also have in my file a two page "1996 Subscription Price Projection Update." Like the data published in American Libraries, it comes from Faxon, but this is brief, showing typical overall price increases for both North American and European subscriptions. It estimates 13.1% increase for North American and 14.8% for European. The text lays out the assumptions on which the projections are based. It is dated 6/95. It also says, for more info. to contact Faxon - The Faxon Company 15 Southwest Park Westwood, MA 02090 800 766-0039, ext. 503 Elise Calvi The Walters Art Gallery [log in to unmask]
