No More ISSN For Weblogs!?

November 10, 2004 by Dane Carlson | 4 Comments

issn-logo.gifRobert Raketty has had his request for an ISSN number for his weblog, Seattle Blogger, put on hold while the International ISSN Network decides whether or not to give ISSN numbers to weblogs.

From the rejection letter:

The assignment of ISSN to Weblogs and/or sites utilizing Weblog technology is under discussion by the International ISSN Network. One issue relates to the scope of ISSN coverage. Another very important issue is whether the limited staff resources of ISSN centers worldwide can accomodate the volume of additional requests. A working group is currently examining these issues as part of the ISSN revision process.

This can’t be right! It sounds to me like they want to exclude a huge revolution in publishing just because they don’t have enough manpower.

    Dane,

    I applied for an ISSN for my weblog petergallagher.com.au earlier this year. The Australian National Library (our national registrar) rejected my application — and my objection — on very similar grounds. It’s not a judgement on the worth of what you do, they said, only a technical decision to limit ISSNs to published (i.e. printed) serials. There is a point at which a loud raspberry noise would be satisfying but unhelpful. So I kept my own counsel … which was to find some people of the same opinion to have the international registration rules changed.

    Do you believe we can do that?

    Best wishes,

    Peter
