Serials Standards Update Forum at ALA Annual Conference Sunday 
June 29, 2008, 10:30-Noon.

The Serials Standards Update Forum, held at American Library 
Association conferences, presents the latest news on developments 
affecting continuing resources management. The session is 
presented by the ALCTS Continuing Resources Section, CRS 
Standards Committee and sponsored by Swets.

At the 2008 Annual Conference, the forum will feature 
identifiers. Distinguished speakers will highlight the importance 
of identifiers in managing and accessing continuing resources and 
two specific identifiers: Linking ISSN which groups versions of a 
resource, aiding in discovery and use.

Institutional identifiers, designed to streamline resource 
acquisition and facilitate access to electronic resources. 
Institutional identifiers are being studied by the NISO I2 
working group, building on initiatives such as Ringgold's 
Identify and OCLC's WorldCat Registry.
