Ms Jasenka Zajec, library consultant for International Cooperation, member of the ISSN Governing Board for many years and first Director of ISSN Centre for Croatia, is retiring.
Ms Zajec has actively participated in all segments of ISSN Network, supporting and promoting the use of ISSN for many years. Firstly, as a founder and Director of ISSN Centre for Croatia from 1992 to 2011, and then as a member of the governing board from 1996 and Vice-President in two mandates (2000 to 2004); also she has been a President of the National TC 46 Standards Committee from 1997 and a member of many other working groups and projects.
2022 is the 30th anniversary of both the ISSN Centre for Croatia and the ISBN Agency, and marks also the 5th anniversary of the Croatian DOI Agency that all joined together in 2016 to construct an identifiers’ workflow of the Bibliography Department of National and University Library in Zagreb.
We would like to thank Ms Jasenka Zajec for her peerless performance during these past years, and congratulate her on her retirement. The years she worked here have been marked by unsurpassed efficiency and excellence.
One of the most popular ways for researchers to filter their search results is by publication type. An ISSN International Centre proposal was passed by the MARC Advisory Committee in January 2021 to include additional types of continuing resources defined for the control field (tag 008 position 21) to reflect the full scope of continuing resources covered by ISO 3297:2020. Three code definitions were revised, and six new codes were added. The ISSN Portal now includes these codes, and official network-wide adoption in the 93 national centres is ongoing. Many ISSN national centres started using the codes immediately after their endorsement using their own local systems. So it seems serials’ metadata experts around the world do appreciate this full bouquet of options to specify the type of continuing resource.
