Representation of Bibliographic Resources Finite resources Monographs Continuing resources Serials Integrating resources Multi-parts Updates remain discrete Updates do not remain discrete 1 -4

Serials, Seriality, and Continuing Resources • Serials are one category of “continuing resource” • Integrating resources are the other category • Both exhibit seriality because they are issued or updated over time and can change • Because they are issued in a different manner, the cataloging rules for them differ 1 -5

Serial Cataloging Records • Reflect the whole publication • Are dynamic because they incorporate changes over time • Are cooperative creations (e. g. , one library may create the record, another may update it) • Are important to the overall control of the serial and often are essential to other records (holdings, check-in) 1 -6

Successive Entry Cataloging • Convention applied to all serials cataloged according to AACR 2 • Any major change results in the creation of a new (successive) record • Records are linked using 780/785 fields 1 -7
