Serials

• Definition A continuing resource issued in a
  succession of discrete parts, usually bearing
  numbering, that has no predetermined conclusion.
  Examples of serials include journals, magazines,
  electronic journals, continuing directories,
  annual reports, newspapers, and monographic
  series. (AACR2, 2002 rev., 2005 update)
• Captions for serials appear in many forms in
  LCCS
• Periodicals
• Periodicals and societies
• Periodicals, societies, congresses, serial
  collections

3
Using the Periodicals Class Number

• Use for all serials periodicals, numbered
  monographic series classed together, topical
  serial society publications, yearbooks
• Do not use class numbers for yearbooks as they
  are obsolete and will be removed from the class
  schedules

4
Completing the Serial Call Number

• Serial call numbers do not include a date
• Issues are distinguished by the addition of
  volume designation (caption) and numbering
• Caption and numbering appears in serial
  bibliographic record (field 362 in MARC21)
• Example Journal of the American Chemical Society
• QD1 .A55 v.92 no.11-14

5
Numbered Monographic Series

• Series may be classed together or classed
  separately
• Decision on how to class is a professional
  decision considering how collection will be used
  and staffing
• Classed together reduces workload since
  classification of individual volumes is avoided
• Classed separately places works on the same topic
  next to each other on shelf

6
Numbered Monographic Series (cont.)

• Series with a narrow topical focus are often
  classed together
• Volumes in classed-together series (often called
  analyzed series) have same class and book
  numbers
• Individual volumes are assigned a caption and
  number
• Examples
• v. 1
• no. 3
• Bd. 52
• v. 10, no. 6
• T. 123

7
Numbered Monographic Series (cont.)

• Volumes in classed-separately series receive call
  numbers like any other monographs

8
Supplementary Works

• A supplementary work is a separately issued
  subordinate work which continues or complements a
  previously issued work.
• A supplement generally has a formal relationship
  with the original work expressed by common
  authorship, a common title or subtitle, and/or a
  stated intention to continue or supplement the
  original.
• Supplements, appendices, indexes, addenda

9
Types of Supplement Treatment

• Supplements cataloged separately
• Supplements covered by a statement in the
  physical description of a record
• Indexes

10
Supplements cataloged separately

• Supplements to monographs receive the same call
  number plus the designation Suppl.
• Example HD9211.C55 W55 2006 Suppl.
• Multiple supplements receive successive numbers
  Suppl., Suppl. 2, Suppl. 3, etc.

11
Supplements cataloged separately (cont.)

• Supplements to a numbered volume of a monographic
  series add Suppl. to call number
• Example HD28.Y555 vol. 55 Suppl.
• Supplements to serials are treated as distinct
  works and receive their own call number

12
Supplements Covered By A Statement In The
Physical Description Of A Record

• Assign the call number of the original work and
  add an appropriate designation.
• use Suppl. if no other term available.
