ABSTRACT:       The American Journal of Botany (AJB) is available on the
shelves of most college and university libraries in the U.S., as well as
in many faculty offices, and in research libraries affiliated with
botanical gardens. This article presents information on how librarians
view AJB, the role that scientific associations play in the perceived
quality of the journals they publish, the unique nature of botany
literature (compared to other sciences), AJB as a core journal, and a
general discussion of the factors that influence librarians decisions
when deciding to cancel a subscription or keep a journal in their
collection.
