Hi Robin.  I'm from NSDP.  The correct number is 0023-9194.

Publishers do this a lot, probably due to change of staff and poor record
keeping.  A good hint is to look at field 022 of an authenticated record.
If the ISSN printed in the piece appears in subfield #y, then that number
is incorrect.  This record also shows that we notified the pulisher of the
error, but apparently, they still misprint the number.

I hope this helps.

Hong.

Hello-

I am very new to serials, so that's my excuse if this seems like a lame
question.

If publishers make mistakes with ISSNs noted in magazines/journals, do
they never correct them?  This specific instance is about Law and Order
where the ISSN listed in the journal is 0023-9195, but according to
Ulrich's and everybody else I checked should actually be 0023-9194 .  In
checking our back issues this has happeded since at least 2003.  Or are
the publishers correct and everyone else is wrong?

Not a particulary earth-shattering item, but I'm curious.

Thanks!

Robin
