The book trade suffers from the occasional reference to eISBN. The ISBN agency tries very hard to stamp those out. I once gave a presentation for NISO called "Every Time You Say eISBN, a Kitten Bleeds." With that perspective, I hope the eISSN dies a mangled and horrible death. > On Nov 22, 2013, at 6:10 PM, Karen Coyle <kcoyle@kcoyle.net> wrote: > > One of the examples I added includes the E-ISSN. I have mixed feelings about this, but I suspect it is quite common in metadata. (It seems to me that it should be an ISSN attached to an electronic publication, not a different kind of ISSN... oh well.) There is also the ISSN-L, which fortunately does not seem to be referred to much, so I hope we can ignore it. > > If you haven't run into ISSN-L, it is the ISSN of the print copy, and is presumably used to gather the various formats (E, print, whatever) together. The "L" stands for "linking."

I haven't run into them, but I'm not watching any serials databases carefully. Also, if E-ISSNs are falling out of use, then we can skip those.
