1-2
Goals of the Advanced Serials Cataloging Workshop
• Outline concepts and decision-making associated with cataloging serials
• Review all areas of the bibliographic description• Discuss common problems in serials cataloging• Practice in resolving cataloging problems
1-3
Goals of the Advanced Serials Cataloging Workshop
• Share your experiences with cataloging serials
• Discuss cataloging problems from your library
• Other goals?
1-4
Session 1: What is a Serial?
• What is seriality? What are continuing resources?
• What is included in chapter 12, Continuing Resources?
• What is the definition of a serial?• What types of serials are difficult to
catalog?
1-5
Seriality
• Some bibliographic resources are issued over time, regardless of whether or not they are finite.
• Bibliographic data can change over time.• Because the bibliographic record reflects the
entire work, the level of specificity of some data may be affected by seriality.

Continuing Resources
• Characteristics:– Issued over time– No predetermined conclusion– Two types due to difference in issuance:
• Serials: separate, discrete parts that stand alone• Integrating resources: parts/new data that merge
with previous content
1-8
Serials: Definition
• A continuing resource that is: – Issued in a succession of discrete parts,– Usually bearing numbering, that has– No predetermined conclusion
1-9
Also Treat as Serials:
• Finite resources having characteristics of serials, but with limited duration– Newsletters of an event, i.e., a one-time
conference– Annual, quarterly, etc., reports of projects
funded for a specific period of time• Reprints of complete runs of serials.
1-10
Finite Resources to be Cataloged as Serials
Reports of activities of short duration:
245 00 $a Results of the Norwegian Scientific Expedition to Tristan da Cunha, 1937-1938.
260 __ $a Oslo : $b Det Norske videnskaps-akademi, $c 1946-1968.
362 1_ $a Began with No. 1; ceased with no. 55.
1-11
What is Not a SerialResources that:• Lack discrete parts
– Integrating resources• Generally lack numbering
– Except for unnumbered series, most unnumbered resources are not serials
• Have predetermined conclusion– Irregularly revised editions (often several years
apart)– Multi-volume sets, i.e., multi-parts
• Encyclopedias (A-Z)• Dictionaries published in more than one volume• Collected works of a literary author
1-12
Finite Resources
245 00 $a Flora of Australia / $c Bureau of Flora and Fauna, Canberra.
300 __ $a v. : $b ill. (some col.) ; $c 26 cm.

1-13
More Difficult Types of Serials
• Monograph vs. serial vs. integrating resource treatment considerations (LCRI 1.0)
• Editions• Conference publications• Serials in loose-leaf format
1-14
Monograph vs. Serial Treatment Considerations at the Local Level
• Standing order or not? Check-in record?• Cost of creating check-in records and adding a
volume vs. cataloging a new title• Only purchase occasional editions?• Access wanted for editors, compilers of
individual volumes?• Access: same call number easier with serial• Cost of recataloging as a serial (cancelling
monograph records; remarking; reclassing)
1-15
Editions
• Frequently issued editions– catalog as a serial – Directories, yearbooks
• Infrequent, often irregular, editions are better cataloged as monographs – Textbooks, dictionaries, handbooks, manuals
1-16
Editions
Determine which records are available– Serial record available (especially a
CONSER one)? – Serial records available for earlier and/or
later titles?
1-17
Editions
– Monograph record for same volume? No records for other volumes?• May catalog as a serial, if first volume in hand and
it states it will continue to be published – Monograph records found for multiple volumes?
• May catalog as a serial if you can determine a regular pattern of publication and the title remains constant
• If titles change with each edition, however, cataloging as a monograph is preferable
1-18
Editions
• If copy is not available and typical serials information is lacking– Check the introduction, preface or
accompanying documentation• Any plans to continue publication?
1-19
Editions
• Check the publisher’s Web site• Consider content and nature of the publication
for likely serial treatment• Statistics• Directories• Reports of activities or research
1-20

Conference Publications as Monographs
• Monograph treatment (LCRI 1.0)– If the conference publication has a unique title
for each issue on the chief source• Usually dedicated to a particular topic• Varies from issue to issue and conference to
conference
And/or:– The conference publication is issued as part
of a numbered monographic series

volumes updated by separate pages that are inserted, removed and/or substituted (AACR2)

Publications in Loose-leaf Format(LCRI 1.0): Serials
• Catalog as serials:– Serials that are issued in loose-leaf format in
order to allow for updating in between issues– Serials that are issued for placement in a
binder, where each issue remains discrete

Summary
• Definition of serial:– Issued in discrete parts; usually has numbering;
no predetermined conclusion– Includes unnumbered series
• Ongoing integrating resources are continuing resources, but are not serials
1-32
Summary
• Reprints of serials; finite integrating resources; publications of activities of limited duration are cataloged as serials
• Editions, conference publications, loose-leaf serials require special practices and considerations
1-33
Exercises
1-34
Exercise 1
• Catalog as a serial– Has numbering in the title– An ISBN does not prohibit serial treatment
• Catalog as a monograph– If a library has purchased only this year
1-35
Exercise 2
• Catalog entire publication as a serial. • Catalog each volume as a serial with a part title
(e.g., International directory of design. 6, Advertising, graphics & typographic design)
• Catalog each edition as a multipart item due to the irregularity of the editions.
• Catalog both the main serial and the subserial.
1-36
Exercise 3
• Catalog as a serial– is an ongoing meeting of an association– the title contains the numbering of the
meeting – the issue lacks a distinctive title
• Catalog as a monograph– If a library has purchased only this year
1-37
Exercise 4
• Catalog as serial, because of the vagueness of the theme title
1-38
Exercise 5
• Catalog as monograph– has a distinctive title– is issued in a series, WDK 28
1-39
Exercise 6
• Catalog each edition as an integrating resource, since the editions appear to be irregular.
