Quick query:

At CASBAH I've just reached the stage where I want to start summarising data
on the extent and type of collections housed in UK academic libraries that
cover information on the Caribbean (specifically the history, cultural
heritage, politics and economies of Caribbean countries).

Although the summary will generally record the extent of holdings my aim is
to try to look at the 'quality' of the collections as well. One way to do
this is to search the online catalogues of selected libraries for key
periodicals containing current research on the Caribbean. So, with the help
of colleagues here at the ICS, I have drawn up a provisional list of
periodical titles that could serve as 'indicators' for my test. As I'm not a
researcher, would others be willing to cast an eye over the list and let me
know if you feel I have missed out any key periodicals researchers would
expect to see in a well resourced library collection for Caribbean studies.
Ideally I need c.20 periodical titles (preferably journals, but magazines
and report series will also suffice) to test against the academic libraries
that have contributed to the CASBAH survey.
