These Guidelines for the cataloguing of newspapers were prepared by the IFLA Section on
Serial Publications Working Group on Newspapers. The text was prepared by Hana
Komorous with the assistance of Robert Harriman.
In accordance with general IFLA practice, the Working Group and the Section on Serial
Publications circulated the draft text of the Guidelines worldwide for comment over a period
of two years. The draft text was also discussed in depth by the participants of the
International Symposium on Newspaper Preservation and Access held on August 12-15, 1987
in London. The comments received were positive and constructive. All suggested changes
were incorporated.
The text of the Guidelines reflects the decisions resulting from its detailed review by the
