Series Work E-List


An Announcement on AUTOCAT.
We are in the process of starting up an electronic list, SERIES-L, dedicated to concerns about bibliographic control for library materials issued in series.

Generally speaking, SERIES-L will do for bibliographic series what the PERSNAME-L list now does for personal names. Posts to SERIES-L will address specific concerns and specific situations, and will focus on resolving problems rather than discussion. Discussion is encouraged -- but not on SERIES-L! -- rather, elsewhere, in appropriate fora. SERIES-L is for the actual work of cataloging materials in series.

You can sign up for SERIES-L at this time. To do so, send an e-mail to [email protected] with the text SUBSCRIBE SERIES-L plus your forename and surname. It's expected that we'll start posts to the list once enough people are signed up.
