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. http://www.niso.org/workrooms/i2
