Just a quick note: The correct URL for ONIX for Serials is http://www.editeur.org/17/ONIX-for-Serials/ - note that this is a family of standards, so it covers a very wide range of data types and content. The code lists Tom mentioned are available there in human-readable form. Also: it sounded to me that Ken was after an actual database of the journal product type information - something like a "serials in print" database? -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Tom Pasley Sent: 16 April 2012 22:15 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] free source for issn->periodical-type data?
