A Method for Building Core Journal Lists in Interdisciplinary Subject Areas.

Kushkowski, Jeffrey D.; Gerhard, Kristin H.; Dobson, Cynthia

Journal of Documentation, v54 n4 p477-88 Sep 1998

The Simple Index Method overcomes the difficulties in building a core list for serials in interdisciplinary fields by using multiple indexes which cover various aspects of the subject. Collection-development librarians can develop a core list when standard bibliographies or specific indexing and abstracting tools are lacking and can tailor that list to needs of the local situation.
