Abstract
Abstract The Open Rules for Cataloging (ORC) project is proposed to be a freely available alternative to Resource Description and Access (RDA) for those who desire a simpler, less abstract cataloging code. The premise of the ORC project is that it is possible to identify universal cataloging concepts in preexisting cataloging rule sets which can be used as the base of a modern cataloging code. The ORC Project has three goals in mind: to reduce needless expense, to promote inclusion, and to facilitate data interoperability. ORC complies with ethical principles and best practices. It will be compatible with a variety of metadata environments. This compatibility will enable data exchange and reuse as well as adaptation. The Open Rules for Cataloging have the potential to revolutionize cataloging practice by simplifying it and making it accessible to all.

The journal encompasses practical, theoretical, and visionary ideas for librarians, publishers, vendors, and anyone interested in the changing nature of serials. Serials Review covers all aspects of serials management: format considerations, publishing models, statistical studies, collection analysis, collaborative efforts, reference and access issues, cataloging and acquisitions, people who have shaped the serials community, and topical bibliographic studies.
