Abstract

This paper describes the work carried out so far at the University of Bath and the Polytechnic of North London as part of the DISISS (Design of Information Systems in the Social Sciences) Project, towards producing a machine‐readable data base of social science serial titles‐CLOSSS (Check List of Social Science Serials). The file consists to date of 5500 titles. The data base is to be used for studies of the size, growth, and composition of the serial literature of the social sciences. Data collection and file creation procedures are described and suggestions put forward for possible future use of the file in the DISISS Project and elsewhere.
