Seed Policy,
Legislation and Law:
Widening a Narrow Focus
Seed Policy, Legislation and Law: Widening a Narrow Focus has
been co-published simultaneously as Journal of New Seeds,
Volume 4, Numbers 1/2 2002.
The Journal of New Seeds Monographic “Separates"
Below is a list of “ separates,” which in serials librarianship means a special issue simultaneously
published as a special journal issue or double-issue and as a “separate” hardbound monograph.
(This is a format which we also call a “DocuSerial.”)
“Separates” are published because specialized libraries or professionals may wish to purchase a specific
thematic issue by itself in a format which can be separately cataloged and shelved, as opposed to purchas­
ing the journal on an on-going basis. Faculty members may also more easily consider a “separate”
for classroom adoption.
“Separates” are carefully classified separately with the major book jobbers so that the journal tie-in can be
noted on new book order slips to avoid duplicate purchasing.

... to search our online catalog for complete tables of contents of these separates and related publications.
