Designed to aid novice and experienced serials catalogers, this resource compiles selected notes to be used as examples in constructing notes for serial bibliographic records. Notes have been selected to describe a range of situations, from simple to complex, and are arranged in MARC tag order and by topical subdivision. This third edition reflects the past decade of changes to serials and to scholarly communication as a whole. It adds hundreds of new examples, updates the definitions and scope notes taken from OCLC Bibliographic Formats and Standards, fourth edition and the CONSER Editing Guide, 1994 edition, and introduces information from the recently developed CONSER Standard Record Documentation, November 4, 2008 edition. Genereux is the series and electronic resources cataloging coordinator at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities.
