ALCTS webinar: ISSN and You: Using ISSN SuperNumber in the Digital Environment

Date: November 9, 2011
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.

Description: Learn about the work of the U.S. ISSN Center and ways the
International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) contributes to
identification, access, and data linking in print and digital
environments worldwide. ISSN is the premier international identifier
for serials and other continuing resources in all formats. ISSN was
ahead of its time in anticipating the crucial role of identifiers in
the digital environment and has evolved well beyond its early role as
a number displayed on print journals. Demand for ISSN continues to
increase because of its ability to identify and facilitate linking to
current, long-dead, or yet-to-be published continuing resources today
and in the future semantic web.

Audience: Any library staff members who work with any aspect of
serials and other continuing resources (acquisitions, cataloging,
ERMs, Open URLs), systems librarians, reference librarians,
publishers, subscription agents, online platform providers, and
fulltext data.

Presenter: Regina Romano Reynolds is ISSN Coordinator at the Library
of Congress and director of the US ISSN Center. She is a frequent
speaker and writer about ISSN, serials, and the future of
bibliographic control; convener of the ISO working group to revise ISO
8:1977, the Presentation of Periodicals; a member of NISO’s PIE-J
Working Group to develop recommended practices for the presentation
and identification of e-journals. Reynolds received the 1999 ALCTS
Ulrich’s Serials Librarianship Award.
