Important Notice About Mail Delivery Disruption
(Oct. 4, 2004) Following the
lead of the House of Representatives, all letter mail to the Library
of Congress is undergoing an expanded screening protocol.
Incoming packages, commercial courier (accountable) mail, and hand-delivered
courier/messenger mail are also subject to the expanded screening protocol.
Publishers are advised to continue
sending urgent requests for new ISSN by fax, email, or private
carrier. Requests for ISSN not needed for several months
and sample issues being sent to fulfill ISSN prepublication registration
requirements can be sent by regular mail. Publishers are strongly
encouraged to send full issues whenever possible. Full issues
can be given more accurate and complete cataloging and only full issues
are considered for inclusion in the Library’s permanent collections.
FAX: (202) 707-6333 Email: issn@loc.gov
Note that applications for ISSN
(except for pre-publication ISSN assigned to serials which have not
yet published any issues) MUST be accompanied by a sample issue or
a surrogate of the cover, title page (if any), masthead, and other
pages containing information about the publication. Surrogates
can be sent by fax or as email attachments (preferably in PDF format), but
please do not fax or email the entire issue. Please limit faxes
or attachments to no more than five pages. |
