Is your Cataloguing Department poised to incorporate the changes suggested by the AACR Serial Review group? Are serials as we know them to disappear and be subsumed as a subset of "ongoing entities"? The digital world dicates a reexamination of the cataloguing of ongoing publications and the greying of the line between monograph and serials. The speakers will discuss the implications and timeline of AACR serial revision and suggest ways your library can prepare to meet the "ongoing entities" (serial) challenge.
