ISBN: International Standard Book Number; details: http://www.isbn.org/stan=
dards/home/index.asp
ISSN: International Standard Serial Number; details: http://www.issn.org:80=
80/pub/

Serials are essentially regularly published magazines/journals and the =
like.  The librarians on the list can (and probably will) give more =
information about such.  So, the use of an ISBN on any WSFA Journal is a =
typo . . .
