The cataloging of computer files also presents unique difficulties. A serials cataloger discusses the advantages of treating computer files as serials for cataloging and processing purposes, and outlines methodologies for doing so. She examines general concerns and addresses issues pertaining to both direct and remote access to the materials. Giving hints from her own experience, she suggests tools and resources available that can assist both catalogers and non-catalogers in the interpretation of serial computer file records.","PeriodicalId":193780,"journal":{"name":"Serials to the Tenth Power","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125348997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Serial rhetoric makes us cling to our ideas of what serials publishing should be and think of any publishing in terms of traditional print paradigms. These limitations corroborate, on the one hand, a fin-de-siecle rhetoric associated with electronic text (discussed in the essay), and tie in on the other with the publishing world's attempts to think of new ventures in term of established practices. Postmodern Culture has offered new models for pricing serials which attempt to rethink what we want from published work. These have not met with success partly because of another rhetoric, that of experimental media. This rhetoric is in some ways like the rhetoric of serials, so that when the two combine they doubly screen us from our alternatives.
