About this Item

Title

  • ISSN: Super Number for the Digital Environment

Summary

  • Learn about the work of the U.S. ISSN Center and the various ways the International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) contributes to identification, access, and data linking at LC and in the worldwide digital environment. ISSN is the premier international identifier for serials and other continuing resources in all formats. The Library of Congress has hosted the U.S. ISSN Center for the benefit of the U.S. and international library and information community since 1972. The ISSN was ahead of its time in anticipating the crucial role of identifiers in the current 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 ISSN's ability to identify and facilitate linking to current, long-dead, or yet to be published continuing resources both in today's digital environment and in the future semantic web.
