19. Title Changes: Do
› Consult appropriate ISSN center
 Title changes may require a new
ISSN
› Implement at start of volume or
year

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

22. › 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

23. 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

24. 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

25. 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

26. Next Steps
› Finish getting feedback
› Finalize and publish document
› Distribute and publicize content
 Print + online versions
 NISO
 U.S. ISSN Center?
 Subscription agencies?
 Enlist help from KBART?
› Ask publishers to “sign-on” like KBART?
› Develop symbol: “PIE-J Compliant”?
