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

1-5 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

1-6 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)
