Module 0. Introduction to Continuing Resources

Welcome to the world of continuing resources! With the expansion of Chapter 12 of AACR2 to cover a much broader category of bibliographic resources, so too will CONSER and the CONSER Cataloging Manual expand its coverage. This introductory section briefly explains the concepts of continuing and finite resources, the form of issuance, including the new category of integrating resources, and how these concepts relate to AACR2, MARC, CONSER, and CONSER documentation.

This module will discuss:
