In general, for titles that fit the definition of a '''[[:Category:Serials|serial]]''', use a serial record if it has been assigned an [[ISSN]] and/or there is a [[CONSER]]-authenticated record available. (CONSER-authenticated records may be recognized by the presence of an LCCN and an 042 field containing "lc", "lcd", or "msc".<ref name="consershortguide">[http://www.loc.gov/acq/conser/authentication.html Short guide to CONSER authentication]</ref>)  The absence of these criteria does not necessarily mean a monograph record should be used.
 
If individual issues of a serial require [[contents notes]] or different access points, or if the serial is issued in discrete multivolume sets, use monograph records.
 
Libraries that use [[MARC holdings records for serials|MARC holdings records]] to convey standing order information will need to use serial records.
 
Before 2010 CCS considered the content of the work when deciding whether to use a serial record. 
 
There must only be one treatment in the database for totally identical material.<ref name="scrapmin200703">[http://www.ccs.nsls.lib.il.us/ccs/minutes/scrap/2007/2007-02-03.PDF SCRAP minutes, February/March 2007]</ref><ref name="catmin200706">[http://www.ccs.nsls.lib.il.us/ccs/minutes/cat/2007/catmin070411.PDF Catalogers' minutes, June 2007]</ref> If such "duplicate" records have been created, please choose the format that is appropriate (serial or monograph) and merge or split the records accordingly.
