VITAMEDIAS

Compatibility of Weblogs and ISSN Conclusions:
1. Weblogs are categorically eligible for ISSN under the existing guidelines.
2. There are no rational reasons to disqualify Weblogs from ISSN.
3. Registrars can expect an increase in applications, but only a fraction of Weblog authors will apply for ISSN.
4. ISSNs can be issued to Weblog authors in due course.
5. Content-related classifications or disqualifications of Weblogs are inappropriate and antithetical to principles of librarianship.
6. Weblogs are a powerful and democratic medium of expression. They merit due and serious acknowledgement from registrars.
