Abstract
The Cooperative Online Serials (CONSER) Program plays an important leadership role in the serials cataloging community. This session provided an overview of the history and functions of the program. Also covered were discussions of some issues and projects of current interest, including recent training efforts, a cooperative cataloging project focused on open-access journals, machine-readable cataloging (MARC) coding changes, and Research Description and Access (RDA) testing. In the final portion of the program, a librarian from a CONSER-member library presented a model for applying the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) model to serials cataloging. As a part this practical application of FRBR, the creation of a serials authority record was recommended.
