We do the same here and, yes, we have the same issues of confusion but I wonder if it would be the same no matter which way they were filed.

Subject: [SERIALST] Words like the, of, and for in titles

Hello,

How does everyone handle words like the, of, and for when shelving journals?

When a journal starts with "the," we ignore that. When the words "the," "of," or "for" appear within a title, they are considered for shelving purposes.

Still, people struggle to find some journals like Journal of Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nursing which comes after Journal of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association.

I was curious if there was a best practice.

Thanks,

Jason Skoog
