Cataloging & Classification Quarterly provides an effective international forum for information and discussion in the field of bibliographic organization. This highly respected journal considers the full spectrum of creation, content, management, use, and usability of bibliographic records, including the principles, functions, and techniques of descriptive cataloging; the wide range of methods of subject analysis and classification; provision of access for all formats of materials; and policies, planning, and issues connected to the effective use of bibliographic data in modern society. The journal deals with the historic setting as well as with the contemporary, and with theory and scholarly research as well as with practical applications. In a rapidly changing field, it seeks out and fosters new developments in the transition to new forms of bibliographic control and encourages the innovative and the nontraditional. Computer applications and network systems are considered from the point of view of creators and users of bibliographic records rather than from that of technicians.Cataloging & Classification Quarterly features fact and opinion from a wide range of individuals covering a broad spectrum of points of view. It deals with both general and specific aspects of cataloging and classification for all forms of library materials in all types of collections. For library school faculty, it provides an outlet for research publication as well as source materials for students. For the cataloger, the journal provides both theoretical background and potential solutions to current problems. For the public services librarian, there are discussions of bibliographic records in actual use and of the importance of feedback from the user to the creator of cataloging systems. For the administrator, it explores the complex elements in the library organization. Cataloging & Classification Quarterly emphasizes full-length research and review articles, descriptions of new programs and technology relevant to cataloging and classification, considered speculative articles on improved methods of bibliographic control for the future, and solicited book reviews. To assist in achieving the journal's goal of excellence, articles are refereed.Topics include: cataloging and preservationcataloging for digital resourcescataloging for special collections and archivesclassification and subject accessdescriptive catalogingeducation and training for cataloging and classificationthe internationalization of catalogingmanagement of cataloging and related functionsmaps and other cartographic and spatial materialsonline retrievaluse and usability issues related to the cataloguse of catalog data by systems outside the OPAC Cataloging & Classification Quarterly is pleased to offer the Best of Cataloging & Classification Quarterly award for the best article published in each volume.

It examines the role in forging identity of cultural (language, architecture, music, gender, religion, the media, sport, encounters with 8216;the other' etc.) and political (state forms, wars, boundaries) factors, by examining how these have been shaped and changed over time. The historical significance of 8216;nation'in political and cultural terms is considered in relationship to other important and in some cases countervailing forms of identity such as religion, region, tribe or class.

The Annals of the International Communication Association is a peer-reviewed quarterly journal publishing state-of-the-discipline literature reviews and essays, including: descriptive reviews; meta-analyses; and theoretical essays.

Submissions to the Annals are broadly defined as follows:

• Reviews – retrospective reviews, helping readers understand the development of current knowledge within the discipline over a defined period in the past, or prescriptive reviews, creating a roadmap for future direction of research on communication
• Communication Insights – examining a set of predetermined topics that provide a degree of continuity across the years and indicate how a specific research topic has developed. A set of predetermined topics will rotate over five year periods
• Book Reviews – reviewing a set of recently published books that focus on a central theme within the discipline.  The goal of the Annals book reviews is to provide a critical review and synthesis of published books. The Editor encourages authors from non-English language speaking countries to consider submitting topical reviews of books not available in the English language in order to increase the reach of communication studies research globally.

The Annals is both international and interdisciplinary in scope, with authors and chapters representing the broad global interests of the International Communication Association.  All submissions will be subject to initial editor screening and subsequent peer review as necessary.

The Annals will continue the traditions established in Communication Yearbook providing an updated context for key research from across the Association.
