Miskatonic University PressI’m delighted to report that Listening to Art has an ISSN: 2562-2668. The International Standard Serial Number is for serial publications what ISBNs are for books: unique identifying numbers.
Getting one was surprisingly simple. Library and Archives Canada manages ISSN Canada, and the application form there is short. I applied; they pointed out something I was missing; I fixed it; they assigned an ISSN. Wonderful!
The site follows the guidelines for the presentation of serial publications:
To assist readers in finding, identifying and using your serial publication, we recommend the following information be presented clearly, explicitly, and consistently on each and every issue or part:
- title
- name of publisher
- place of publication
- numbering and/or chronological designation
- frequency
- ISSN
Observing this best practice will help users to easily discover your serial publication and to distinguish it from other serials.
Soon I will add some metadata inside the web pages so that the ISSN is embedded as a Uniform Resource Number.
