Serials Cataloging with RDA

What is a serial?

A resource • issued in successive parts• usually bearing numbering• that has no predetermined conclusion (e.g., a

periodical, a monographic series, a newspaper).

Includes resources that exhibit characteristics of serials, such as successive issues, numbering and frequency, but whose duration is limited (e.g., newsletters of events) and reproductions of serials.
