On January 4^th, 2018, the ISSN international Centre launched its new Portal and its new Extranet which are available at https://portal.issn.org.

The ISSN Portal has been enriched with new features such as improved search functions (faceted search, cartographic search), multiple display options, additional data, i.e. a unified subject classification based on UDC, and the possibility to download bibliographic information in MARC and linked data formats.

The Customer Extranet allows each subscribing entity to have its own access point with details about its subscription. Specific statistics are available to help with usage monitoring. The new Extranet therefore allows customers of the ISSN Portal greater autonomy in managing their accounts.

Do you use  ISSN? The ISSN standard is being revised and the ISSN International Centre is seeking views from all sectors as to the future of the standard.

There is a short survey available which should only take 10 minutes or so to complete.

It can be found at :

Thank you for your time.

Surveys in French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese and Arabic are also available.

The European BIBFRAME Workshop will be organized at the DNB on September 26th and 27th, 2017. It is coordinated by the Nordic Network Group on bibliographic and infrastructure topics.

Clément Oury, Head of the Data, Network and Standards Department, will give a presentation about ISSN projects and the use of Bibframe for serials and other continuing resources.
