INTERNATIONAL STANDARD SERIAL NUMBERING (ISSN) PROJECT

International Standard Serial Number is a unique eight-digit code that identifies individual serial publications in Sri Lanka such as periodicals, newspapers, annuals (annual reports, year books, directories, etc.) journals, memoirs, proceedings, transactions of societies and monographic series. The ISSN facilitates the national and international exchange of information about serial publications for the purposes of ordering, inventory control, processing and retrieval.
