Abstract: This article describes a study of personal journal subscriptions of university faculty in science in an undergraduate liberal arts university. Based on personal interviews, this article examines personal subscriptions with regard to reason for subscription, classification of journal, use of an SDI service, and importance to the discipline and the faculty member. Overlap with the holdings of the university library, financing of personal subscriptions, and style of reading were also investigated. Results are mostly as expected, but noteworthy is the influence of subscribing to an SDI service on various aspects of subscriptions. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
