D. Kniesner et C. Willman, THE ANALYTICAL REFERENCE IN SERIALS CATALOGING - A NEW ACCESS POINT IN ONLINE CATALOGS, The Serials librarian, 26(2), 1995, pp. 113-123
A new bibliographic structure is proposed for use in today's online li
brary catalogs. The structure is a MARC bibliographic record consistin
g almost entirely of indexed access points-in essence, many cross-refe
rences assembled into one record, all pointing to a serial. It is expe
cted that these analytical cross-references will improve serials catal
oging by providing author and title access to distinctive volumes of m
onographic series that have been cataloged as serials.
