ISSN International Centre’s MARC proposal to create a new field for Cluster ISSNs​ was accepted by the MARC Advisory Committee on 28 June 2023.

Also, in June 2023, the MARC Office published the Update 36 which includes the field the ISSN International Centre requested jointly with the National Library of Finland, Field 857 for Electronic Archive Location and Access https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd857.html. The MARC Update 37 with the new field 023 will be released in December 2023. Initial planning for the launch of the new Cluster ISSN, the Title History ISSN or ISSN-H, has begun, and it is expected to be activated at the same time as the new ISSN Portal in the first half of next year.
