Answer: pleas mark as brainleast

Explanation:

The purpose of the monographs and journals task force is to learn more about what scholars and students who use books and journals need and expect from libraries, and to help librarians think about their future role in ensuring access to such resources. Future problems and opportunities should be viewed in light of the changing nature of information technology.

The Changing Nature of Publishing

In the fields of science, technology and medicine (STM), journals represent the frontier and are used much more than monographs, which tend to review the current state of the field. Just the opposite is true in the humanities. Moreover, journal publishing in the social sciences and humanities can take years, while, in general, STM journals race new work into print.

Academic institutions are both producers and consumers of scholarly publishing. Faculty members and students produce work which is reviewed and, if accepted, edited by academic peers, often for a commercial publisher. Libraries must then buy back the published work at escalating prices. The problem is especially serious with scientific journals, which are the most expensive. Social science and humanities journals tend to be less expensive.

Commercial publishers have aggressively expanded the publication of journals over the past several years. For example, the American Physical Society publishes 90,000 pages per year in a variety of journals, when once it published only 8,000-10,000 pages annually. So commercial publishers have both created more products and also raised their prices to maximize income.

Importance of illustrative records and monographs printed information in libraries

Explanation:

• The illustrated  records include a wide collection of records that are basically images or graphic representations of events, objects and concepts, and  that are differentiated mainly from written documentation. Illustrated records comprise illustrations, engineering, architectural, artistic works, and can include designs, sketches, drawings, paintings, photographs, or other media. Illustrated records are also designed to ease the interpretation of a subject or concept, or to make an element or image creative,  or give an artistic rendering of the idea/object, etc. In more modern social and economic data, the theory of selective selection will be extended. This theory simply means that a few documents are chosen for preservation as they contain data that are representative or illustrative of the whole, because they involve a significant event or an activity, or because they contain data that are considered appropriate for examining particular social or economic circumstances.
• Monographs have a wider meaning in cataloging the library: that of a publication which is not completed in a single volume (book) or with a limited number of volumes. It is therefore different from a serial journal, magazine or journal. The monographs are meant to learn about the books and journals that academics and students require and expect from libraries and to help librarians focus on their future role as making sure such access is available . In terms of the changing complexity of information technology, potential challenges and possibilities will be viewed;
