I wish to express my gratitude to Dorothy Glasby for the assistance she provided during the preparation of this module.  Her many years of serials cataloging experience were invaluable in determining the intrinsic nature of the rules and the various practices followed at the Library of Congress.  In addition, I wish to thank Judy Kuhagen for her review of the final draft.  ~ Jean Hirons
