Letter 

To the Editor: 
Thank you very much for publishing 

my article, "Publishing in the Journal Lit-
erature of Library and .Information Sci-
ence" in the July 1996 issue of C&RL. 

I am writing to apologize for a couple 
of errors that I did not catch in the page 
proofs. They are in Table 1. Fortunately, 
the errors do not affect the text, discus-
sion, or conclusions in any way. However, 
I would like to set the record straight. 

My sincere apologies for letting these 
errors slip into the final manuscript. I in-
tend to e-mail the editors of the journals 
where the errors were made to let them 
know that I recognize the errors. Thank 
you. 

The correct numbers are as follows:
