The article examines the evolution from International Standard Serial Numbers (ISSN)-L to the broader concept of cluster ISSNs, outlining how these identifiers aim to resolve linking, title-history, and multi-format challenges in ibrary serials management. Topics include the motivation for cluster ISSNs; user interest in a "family ISSN" (ISSN-F/ISSN-H) to represent title histories; and MARC 21 developments enabling the recording and future use of these new identifiers.
