Abstract:	We present the results of a two year study on the nature, cost and use of periodicals in Italian Astronomical Libraries (IALs). In the year 2000, IALs spent two-thirds of the budget (∼440.000 Euros) for serial subscriptions. This fact provided an incentive for the 12 Observatory librarians to investigate the potential for developing a consortium. In so doing, we first analysed characteristics of our individual collections and then evaluated the cost of on-line access as opposed to paper subscriptions. Then we studied the relationship between cost and serial usage.
