Week 5 (Reflection) 13 March 2013

          In this week, our lecture ask us to present the hands-on task on the week fourth. On the presentation, we will give the comment to our friends homework and we will do the correction on the homework that we do it wrongly.

          After that we had been given lecture about the serials topic. Definition of serial (AACR2, Glossary) is a publication in any medium issued in successive parts bearing numerical or chronological designations and intended to be continued indefinitely.
          The characteristics of serials that make it different from monographic publications is serials are issued on a continuing basis, often with a regular frequency such as annually or monthly. The title page may not be included in the serials but may be found on the cover or the beginning of the text. This could be found on periodicals like the magazines, journal and newsletters. The designations is present in the serials which is numbers or dates or combinations of both distinguish the individual issues.
          Serials do not have personal authors and serials always associated with editors or compilers. Serials titles are often find in more than a place in the issue and could be in different forms. Serials may also be related to monographs. Supplements, indexes, reprint or special issues could be happened to the serials. Serials its own will be supplement, index, reprint or special issue for others. Serials are issued continuously. The title, issuing body, form of numbering, frequency, size and physical appearance may be change for the serials.
          The common types of serials publications :
                          1) Periodicals
                          2) Annual reports and recurring reports of activities.
                          3) Directories, yearbooks, and other similar reference works.
                          4) Newsletters
                          5) Statistical publications
                          6) Newspapers
                          7) Legal and official publicatios

          The types of serials publications that we are going to learn today are the journal and non book such as the CD-ROM. The example of the serial publications for the journal is shown below :

           We also get to learn about the descriptive elements that must be given for all serials :
                          1) Title proper
                          2) Designation of the first issue or a "Description based on" note
                          3) Place of publication or "S.I."

          Besides that, descriptive elements that may be given depending on what appears, level of cataloging, etc.:

          So, the correct way to write the serials for the above journal is as follow:

      no.3 (Oct 1974)

           After being given lecture in the lecturer room, we then go to the library for hands-on learning. Below is the serial publication for journal that had been done by me.
