Wednesday, December 7, 2011

Ellis 4F51A
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.
Speaker: Regina Romano Reynolds, ISSN Coordinator at the Library of Congress and director of the US ISSN Center
