Definition of a serial

"A mode of issuance of a manifestation issued in successive parts, usually bearing numbering, that has no predetermined conclusion. A serial includes a periodical, monographic series, newspaper, etc. Reproductions of serials and resources that exhibit characteristics of serials, such as successive issues, numbering, and frequency, but whose duration is limited, such as newsletters of events, are also included."[1]

Cataloging serials

In general, for titles that fit the definition of a serial, use a serial record if it has been assigned an ISSN and/or there is a CONSER-authenticated record available. CONSER-authenticated records may be recognized by the presence of an LCCN and an 042 field containing "lc", "lcd", or "msc". Note the absence of these criteria does not necessarily mean a monograph record should be used. ("CONSER" is the Cooperative Online Serials Program, a component of the Program for Cooperative Cataloging, or PCC.)

If individual issues of a serial require contents notes or different access points, or if the serial is issued in discrete multivolume sets, generally use monograph records.

Libraries that use MARC holdings records to convey standing order information should generally use serial records.

Before 2010 CCS considered the content of the work when deciding whether to use a serial record.

There must only be one treatment in the database for totally identical material.[2][3] If such "duplicate" records have been created, please choose the format that is appropriate (serial or monograph) and merge or split the records accordingly.

Bibliographic records for magazines and newspapers should have a type of material / format of Periodical. In order for this to display properly in Polaris, add an 006 field for serial. 006 position 00 needs to be s. The other positions need to be "No attempt to code."
