An overview of the research topics and trends that have appeared over the last five years, Serials Cataloging at the Turn of the Century doesn’t just tell you that there has been a lot of change--that the information environment is something of a chameleon, always beguiling and slipping out of grasp.

Comprehensive, resource-packed, and easy-to-digest, Serials Cataloging at the Turn of the Century examines how developments in automation and national standards have broadened the role of the serials cataloger, how an integrated format can lessen the problem with duplicate records in computerized bibliographic utilities, and how CONSER has utilized new technology to facilitate access to serials information.
