“…195-196) Such complications have motivated serials catalogers like Allgood (2007), Antelman (2004), and E. A. Jones (1997) to call for reconceptualizing serials and their bibliographic control at a higher level of abstraction.…”

This paper explores the ISI Journal Citation Reports (JCR) bibliographic and subject structures through Library of Congress (LC) and American research libraries cataloging and classification methodology. The 2006Science Citation Index JCR Behavioral Sciences subject category journals are used as an example. From the library perspective, the main fault of the JCR bibliographic structure is that the JCR mistakenly identifies journal title segments as journal bibliographic entities, seriously affecting journal rankings by total cites and the impact factor. In respect to JCR subject structure, the title segment, which constitutes the JCR bibliographic basis, is posited as the best bibliographic entity for the citation measurement of journal subject relationships. Through factor analysis and other methods, the JCR subject categorization of journals is tested against their LC subject headings and classification. The finding is that JCR and library journal subject analyses corroborate, clarify, and correct each other. The ProblemJournals present complex problems of bibliographic control. Bibliographic control is the process of creating, organizing, managing, and maintaining a file of bibliographic records representing the items held in a library or the sources listed in an index or database to facilitate access to the information in them. It requires standardizing bibliographic description by means of uniform catalog codes, classification systems, name authority files, and preferred headings. In terms of function, bibliographic control can be divided

“…As Jones has noted, FRBRaware OPACs will cluster related works, expressions, and manifestations more clearly, but will not free users of the need to consult multiple records for equivalent versions. 62 FRBR-aware serial displays may display serial works available in multiple expressions and manifestations as a single entry within a headings list (see table 1). Users interested in selecting from among the available expressions of the New York Times or related works within a catalog could select an entry to expand this tree structure (see tables 1 and 2).…”

The proliferation of multiple versions for bibliographic works presents numerous challenges to the cataloger and, by extension, to the catalog user. Fifteen years after the Multiple Versions Forum held inThis paper will examine the MulVer problem with regard to serial resources and will consider both the Joint Steering Committee for Revision of AngloAmerican Cataloguing Rules (JSC) mandate to revise AACR2 and the growing influence of the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) model.2 As my conclusions are aimed at current and developing solutions to the MulVer problem, the literature I cite was written largely within the last fifteen years. The paper calls for online public access catalog (OPAC) displays allowing users to more easily understand and navigate the rich, complex collections librarians assemble.Unless otherwise noted, the term "users" refers to external library users rather than to library staff members. For library staff members or internal library users, manifestation-level detail is necessary for ordering, record identification,

“…In part, this is just the newest incarnation of what used to be called the multiple versions or format variation problem, long the bane of serials catalogers. 5 But it may also say something about the nature of CR. The reluctance to include bibliographic records for CR in early FRBR-ization experiments implies that further work may be needed to better integrate CR into the FRBR model.…”
