Abstract
SERIALS pose a problem for cataloguers which is essentially simple in its solution. Title entry is the obvious and most satisfactory method of entering a serial in a catalogue and has been recognised as such by modern cataloguing codes. However, a large number of serials are issued or published by corporate bodies and because cataloguing codes have failed to find a suitable solution to the difficulties of entry under corporate body they have created considerable confusion with the construction of consistent access points. The problem has still not been resolved and in the summer 1980 issue of Library resources and technical services C. Sumner Spalding observed that “the most significant category of publications for which the application of the corporate author principle has had its most severe challenge is serials”.
