Abstract:

With the continuous development of cross-straits relations, Chinese periodicals published in Taiwan are collected by an increasing number of libraries in mainland China, as an important documentary and informational resource. These periodicals are published freely, and the publishing takes a variety of forms, presenting new challenges to CNMARC description for periodicals. Combining with the daily cataloging practices of these periodicals, the author analyses the existing problems on CNMARC description for these collections and puts forward solutions after the case study.

Key words: Taiwan, Chinese periodicals, CNMARC, Description, Diversified publishing
