A Joint Public Statement has been issued from the Universities of Glasgow and Liverpool, which we copy to you below. Librarians will welcome the fact that all parties have requested from the ISSN UK Centre at the British Library completely new and separate ISSN numbers for both journals, and have requested that these new ISSNs be allocated to the Glasgow and Liverpool Bulletins "on an even-handed basis", to take effect from their Volume LXXIX, 2002 issues. This has been done in order to end the confusion caused to librarians and other journal users during the currency of the dispute. Joint Statement from the Universities of Glasgow and Liverpool Dispute concerning the Bulletin of Hispanic Studies A dispute arose in 1995 concerning the Bulletin of Hispanic Studies. Since 1995 separate versions of a journal with this name have been edited and published from the Universities of Liverpool and Glasgow. Both versions trace their origins to the journal started by Edgar Allison Peers in 1923, which was between 1923 and 1948 published under the name of the Bulletin of Spanish Studies and from 1949 to 2001 under the name of the Bulletin of Hispanic Studies. All parties are pleased to announce that this dispute has been resolved through a mutually satisfactory settlement, arrived at after detailed discussions on 15 January 2001 and 7 August 2001, facilitated by mediation procedures. In the best interests of Hispanic Studies, the following agreement has been reached: · During 2001 the two journals will continue to be published under the title the Bulletin of Hispanic Studies. · After 1 January 2002, in order to distinguish between the two journals, the Glasgow publication will use the journals original title, the Bulletin of Spanish Studies and the Liverpool publication will use the present title, the Bulletin of Hispanic Studies. · The inside cover of the Bulletin of Hispanic Studies will carry the statement "This Bulletin has been published continuously from Liverpool since its foundation by Edgar Allison Peers in 1923". The inside cover of the Bulletin of Spanish Studies will carry the statement "This Bulletin has been edited by Edgar Allison Peers and his successors since 1923". · Each journal will assume a new cover design and new colours from 1 January 2002. · Both journals will continue to serve the broad field of Hispanic scholarship -- through publishing research articles and reviews on the languages, literatures and civilizations of Spain, Portugal and Latin America. · From the January 2002 issue of their respective Volumes LXXIX, 2002, each journal will continue to use the same volume numbering as has been used to date based on an initial publication date of 1923. · The parties will jointly request from the ISSN UK Centre at the British Library a completely new separate ISSN for each journal. From 1 January 2002 both journals will cease to use the original ISSN Number (ISSN 0007-490X). END OF THE JOINT PUBLIC STATEMENT The Editors of the Glasgow Bulletin take this opportunity to inform librarians in advance that the Bulletin at Glasgow is expanding and will be published with increased frequency. From its Volume LXXIX 2002 issues the Glasgow Bulletin of Spanish Studies (concerning "Hispanic Studies and Researches on Spain, Portugal and Latin America") will appear 6 times per year, in January, March, May, July, September and November. This development, which allows more contributions to be published in each Volume Year, will enable accepted articles to appear more quickly and ensure the prompt availability of book reviews. All librarians will, we believe, share our pleasure in the final settlement of the dispute over the Bulletin of Hispanic Studies. ANN L. MACKENZIE C.
