FIELD DEFINITION AND SCOPE

International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) and/or any incorrect and canceled ISSNs copied from field 022 of a MARC 21 bibliographic record for a continuing resource.

The inclusion of this field in the established heading record for a series which identifies an occasionally-analyzed issue of a continuing resource provides a machine link within a system between the authority record for the series and a bibliographic record in which the heading is used as a series added entry. The subfields for this field are defined for consistency with field 022 in the MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data.

International Standard Book Number (ISBN) associated with a multipart item that is cataloged as a set is contained in field 020 (International Standard Book Number).

INPUT CONVENTIONS

ISSN Structure - ISSN is an agency-assigned data element. ISSNs are assigned to continuing resource publications by national centers under the auspices of the ISSN Network. An ISSN consists of eight digits comprising two groups of four digits each, separated by a hyphen. The eighth digit is a check digit used as a computer validity check; it consists of a number between 0 and 9 or an uppercase X (for the arabic numeral 10). A description of the ISSN structure and the procedure for validation of the ISSN by calculating the check digit is in International Standard Serial Numbering (ISSN) (ISO 3297).
