When GPO became the authority for cataloging monographic Federal documents, we

also assumed the responsibility of establishing iiionographic series. In addition, GPO agreed to create serial entries for numbered monographic series. We

began this in 1981 and it was reflected in a new section of the 1981 Serials

Supplement. (Unfortunately, a systems error caused them to print under the

heading CONGRESS!) The section is arranged by ti'le, as not all series aro

assigned an individual SuDoc number.

The 1982 Serials Supplement will include additional series entries and additional

entries will be added with each succeeding Serin Xs Supplement. Entries will be

retained from year to year, unless a series is discontinued. **********************************

1982 SERIALS SUPPLEMENT

There has been a delay in the issuance of the 1982 Serials Supplement due to a serious software problem. That problem has now been solved and we will be

issuing this publication as soon as possible.
