Molecular brain research is a supplement publication with Brain research. The title in the record for this publication should be: Molecular brain research, since it is a sufficiently independent title.
Brain research itself is still being published, so an annotation in that record that it 'split' would be wrong.

The catalogue record for the paper version in the GGC (Dutch shared cataloguing system) is:
Molecular brain research : a section of 'Brain research' devoted to the publication of molecular studies. - Vol. 1 (1986) - vol. 4 (1988) = vol. 387 (1986) - vol. 464 (1988) ; vol. 5, no. 1 (Jan. 1989) - .... - Amsterdam : Elsevier, 1986-.... - 26 cm
Verschijnt 1× per 2 maanden; later 1× per 3 maanden. - Suppl. op: Brain research = ISSN 0006-8993. - Ook verschenen in elektronische vorm.
ISSN 0169-328X = Molecular brain research

and for the online version:
Molecular brain research [Online Resource] : a section of Brain Research devoted to the publication of molecular studies. - [S.l.] : Elsevier Science ; [New York, NY] : ScienceDirect [Host], 1995-...

hope this helps,

Subject: Re: Odd question

A colleague of mine here at RMIT has informed me about a numbering peculiarity with the Australian title Stock and Land. Issue #36 for 2003 was missed out completely, and there were two issues numbered #40. Rural Press claim they have now corrected the problem, and that the issue for 9 October 2003 is correctly numbered #41. My source isn't so sure they have corrected it, so there may be yet another issue #40 for 2003. Subscribing libraries obviously need to treat this title like a brown snake in a woodheap, i.e. with extreme caution.

Inter alia, my colleague poses the question "Serials policy was always to faithfully record what was imprinted on the issue. One wonders if this practice is consistently followed in electronic publishing."

Subject: NASIG Conference Student Grant Announcement

2004 NASIG STUDENT GRANT ANNOUNCEMENT

The North American Serials Interest Group (NASIG) is currently seeking
candidates for grants to attend the Nineteenth Annual Conference to be
held at the Historic Hilton Milwaukee City Center Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
June 17-20, 2004. Established in 1985, NASIG is an independent,
international organization that promotes communication and sharing of
ideas among all members of the serials information chain - anyone
working with or concerned about serials. For more information about
NASIG, please see the NASIG web page at http://www.nasig.org.

Through the granting of these awards, NASIG desires to encourage
participation in this information chain by students who are interested
in pursuing some aspect of serials work upon completion of their
professional degrees. Each year the annual conference is held in a
different city where the various segments of the serials community
(including publishers, vendors, and librarians) meet in an informal
setting to network and share information. The conference includes the
presentation of papers, panels, workshops, tours, and social events.

SCOPE OF AWARD: Recipients are expected to attend the entire conference
and submit a brief written report to NASIG, which will be excerpted for
publication in the NASIG Newsletter. Expenses for travel, registration,
meals, and lodging will be paid by NASIG. Each recipient will also
receive a year's membership in NASIG.

ELIGIBILITY: Students who are currently enrolled at the graduate level
in a library school ALA-accredited now and/or at the time of enrollment,
who do not already have an ALA accredited degree, and who have expressed
an interest in some aspect of serials work, are eligible. Applicants
must be full- or part-time students at the time of application. In order
to accept an award, a recipient must not be employed in a position
requiring an ALA accredited degree, or on leave from such a position, at
the time of acceptance of the grant. Equal consideration will be given
to all qualified applicants, with preference given to those earning
their degrees the year of the conference. Students do not have to be
NASIG members to apply, and they must not have earned their degrees
earlier than the end of the school year prior to the NASIG conference.
Applicants must not have attended a previous NASIG conference, but may
have participated in a NASIG conference as a local volunteer.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE: Application forms are available through the NASIG
Web Page http://www.nasig.org/award/
in the December issue of the NASIG Newsletter, and from Rachel L. Frick,
Co-Chair, Awards & Recognition Committee. Completed applications should

The North American Serials Interest Group (NASIG) and the Serials
Industry Systems Advisory Committee (SISAC) team up each year to award a
$2500 scholarship to a library science graduate student who demonstrates
excellence in scholarship and the potential for accomplishment in a
serials career. The purpose of the scholarship is to advance the serials

was Manager of Electronic Services and Standards at the Faxon Company.

Fritz's many contributions to the library profession and to honor his
energy, warmth, humor, and passion for standards.

be entering an ALA-accredited graduate library program or must have
completed no more than twelve hours of academic requirements towards the
graduate degree at a graduate library program accredited at the time of

Subject: Brain research. Molecular brain research

Greetings.

We are in the process of getting our online holdings for ScienceDirect in
our local catalog.  We do not have the print counter-part for many of these
titles.

We are currently working on the title: Molecular brain research
The record we find on OCLC is *39061866, with the following:
130 0  Brain research. ßp Molecular brain research (Online)
245 00 Brain research. ßp Molecular brain research ßh [electronic resource].

I understand the the original publication, Brain research, split into
several parts back in the 1980s.  However, I cannot find any evidence from
the online record that Brain research should continue to be a part of the
title.  It does not appear on the virtual cover, it is not included in any
online reference to the title, it is simply called: Molecular brain
research.  For those of you having access to ScienceDirect, the URL is:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/0169328X

If anyone still gets this in paper, I would like to have some verification
that Brain research should still be considered part of the title.  But if
the online version does not reflect this, should the online version continue
to use that title?  or simply be cataloged as Molecular brain research?

Thanks for any help!!

From:    "Marshall, Susan" <smarshall@MONTANA.EDU>
Subject: Legacy system to manage print and electronic journals?

Has anyone developed a legacy system to keep track of your print and
electronic journal packages and individual subscriptions?
I am looking at creating a relational database with MySQL with a web
interface.  Has anyone done something like this?

Currently, we have a huge Excel spreadsheet with the info on it but it is
very inflexible as far as reporting goes.
Also, I am not interested in using Microsoft Access.
 Any other ideas?

(We are current satisfied Serials Solutions users and will keep them but
that system is limited as far as manipulating data and reporting goes.)
(Also, I am not happy with our subscription agent who is currently
"managing" our subscriptions. I think we could save a lot of money by
keeping track on our own.....)
