Title Changes: Do

› Consult appropriate ISSN center

Title changes may require a new

ISSN

› Implement at start of volume or

year

Users appreciate as full a journal title history as possible to show clear relationships such as previous or later titles.

› Each title over time needs a separate ISSN

› Each format (e.g., print, online) needs a

separate ISSN

› Apply for any needed ISSN to the appropriate

ISSN Center (an ISSN appendix is provided)

› Display all appropriate ISSN on each format

› Further information in the ISSN appendix

Numbering, publication information

Enumeration system

› Use one, even if only year

› Keep it simple

› Parallel across formats

Publication information

› Include “about” information including editors and

boards

› Link to title history

› Include distinctive issue-level information

Access to Content

› Provide means to display and access both

current and former content

› Ensure former titles are in browse lists and

searchable

› Retain all published content

Preservation of content digitized

from print

› Digitize all content, even blank and nearly

blank pages

› Digitize front and back covers

› Digitize advertisements (part of the historical

record)

› Digitize all available content even if some is

missing

› Indicate any missing content

Next Steps

› Finish getting feedback

› Finalize and publish document

› Distribute and publicize content
