A revista CIBERCULTURA em breve terá um ISSN (International Standard Serial Number), graças aos esforços de Selma C. Silva, do CDR. Mas para que serve esse número? No site The ISSN há uma boa explicação: The ISSN should be as basic a part of a serial as the title. As a standard numeric identification code, the ISSN is eminently suitable for computer use in fulfilling the need for file update and linkage, retrieval and transmittal of data. As a human readable code, the ISSN also results in accurate citing of serials by scholars, researchers, information scientists and librarians. In libraries, the ISSN is used for identifying titles, ordering and checking in, claiming serials, interlibrary-loan, union catalog reporting etc. ISSN is a fundamental tool for efficient document delivery. ISSN provides a useful and economical method of communication between publishers and suppliers, making trade distribution systems faster and more efficient, in particular through the use of bar-coding and EDI (electronic data interchange).
