Meeting on Serial Publications at the National Library of Colombia

The National Library of Colombia – National Center of ISSN held a Meeting on Serial Publications in August 2019.

Attendees learned about topics related to the revision of the Colombian Technical Standard 1074 on information and documentation, with reference to the international standard serial number (ISSN); the role played by open access scholarly journals, and the behavior of serial publications in the digital environment were also discussed. In addition, the importance and advances of the digital legal deposit in the National Library of Colombia were presented, as a mechanism that allows preserving digital documents for future generations. As a complement to this professional development day, there was a workshop on the process of preservation of serial heritage works, both born-digital and analog.
