2016 Charleston Library Conference

This session will provide updates to several ongoing projects of interest to the library, publisher and vendor communities, including the International ISSN Centre-Ulrich's ISSN project, the revision of ISO-8, the revision of the ISSN Standard (ISO-3297), and an IEEE project to improve the ISSN in their metadata. Attendees will learn which national centers are participating in the ISSN IC-Ulrich's project and how that project benefits the greater community of scholarly publishers and users of scholarly information. There will be a discussion about the project plan and progress of the ISO-8 revision (Presentation of Periodicals) which is related to ISSN and the NISO PIE-J Recommended Practice. The status of and details about the proposed ISSN Standard Revision will also be included. Rounding out the program will be information from IEEE regarding their work on a project to improve the inclusion of ISSN in the metadata that accompanies the periodical and conference serials files they send to various services and providers. There will be time for discussion and questions on any or all of these topics.
