This field contains coded data relating to continuing resources including monographic series catalogued as series rather than as individual monographs.
| a | periodical A type of continuing resource in which the parts (called issues) are generally characterised by variety of contents and contributors, both within the issue and from one issue to another. Periodicals can be print or digital. They include journals, magazines, print directories and newsletters. This code indicates a broad category of periodicals and can be used if a more specific code is not required. Otherwise, prefer codes for the specific types of periodicals. |
| b | monographic series A type of continuing resource characterised by each part having a distinctive title and often individual authorship in addition to the series having a constant title. Each part will usually contain only a single work or a closely related group of works. Systematic or sequential numbering of parts is a common but not invariable further characteristic. |
| c | newspaper A type of periodical characterised by the fact that it contains topical information and addresses the general public. It is published frequently (daily, weekly, biweekly), and is usually printed in columns down each page (see examples 3, 4). Examples: Delo, Večer, Slovenske novice, Politika, etc. This code is also used for both factory and school newspapers and information bulletins of some organisations and societies. |
| d | directory An itemized listing of information for the identification or location of persons, objects, organisations, or places, arranged alphabetically, chronologically, or in other systematic order, and updated over time. Directories can be print or digital. If more specific codes are not required, you can use code "a" for a print directory and code "g" for a digital directory. |
| e | updating loose-leaf An integrating resource that consists of a base volume(s) updated by separate pages which are inserted, removed, and/or substituted (see example 6). |
| f | database A collection of logically interrelated data stored together in one or more computerised files, usually created and managed by a database management system and accessed via a search interface (see examples 5, 7). If a more specific code is not required, you can use code "g". |
| g | updating website A collection of web pages and related content that is changing or customizing to give someone the most recent information (see example 8). Use this code if more specific codes are not required. Otherwise, prefer codes for the specific types of updating websites ("f", "h", "d" (for digital directory), "i"). |
| h | blog Online periodical appearing on a web page that may contain web links and/or comments on a particular topic or subject (broad or narrow in scope), often in the form of short articles arranged in reverse chronological order, the most recently added piece of information appearing first. Blog content may be written or collected by the site owner or contributed by users (see example 9). If more specific codes are not required, code "g" can be used. |
| i | repository An archive for collecting, preserving, and disseminating digital copies of the intellectual output of an institution or a group of institutions, particularly scholarly or research. It can also be a collection of materials on a specific subject, or from a specific community. It includes materials such as e-prints, technical reports, theses and dissertations, datasets, and teaching and learning materials. |
| j | journal A periodical addressing readers interested in a specific subject or profession. Often includes original research and current developments (see example 1). |
| m | magazine A periodical addressing non-scientific, non-professional general interest topics (see examples 2, 10). |
| n | newsletter A short periodical that can be issued by an organization, generally to its members, or to a specific audience to give current information about a topic or sphere of activity. This code is also used for factory and school newspapers and information bulletins of some organisations and societies (see example 11). |
