Re: Request to CONSER members re: OCLC #23980286 Steve Shadle 31 May 2005 18:20 UTC

Konstantin -- As a CONSER member who formerly worked at the ISSN Center, I
would suggest that this is correct use of 022|y (as it probably accurately
reflects a publisher error that might affect physical receipt) and that
instead you examine what specific fields and subfields you use in your
link resolution.  We have discovered that including 022|y causes too many
false drops and for the index we use to generate link resolver ISSN
matching, we use 022|a|z and 776|x (to catch the E-ISSN/P-ISSN doubling).
