1112 Completing the Application: Group Registration of Daily Newspapers and Daily Newsletters (Form G/DN)
This Section provides instructions for completing Form G/DN. Currently, this form must be used to register a group of daily newspapers or daily newsletters.
1112.1 Space 1 : Title of this Newspaper / Newsletter
In space 1 of the application, the applicant should provide the title of the newspaper or newsletter exactly as it appears on the deposit copies. In addition, the applicant should identify the total number of issues that have been submitted for registration. As discussed in Sections 1110.2 and 1111.2, the title that appears on each issue in the group must be the same.
If a month and year date [e.g., October 2013) or an edition number [e.g., Vol. 217, No. 1] appears on the deposit copies, the applicant should provide this information in space 1 under the headings marked "Month and year date on copies" and "Edition."
If an International Standard Serial Number ("ISSN"] has been assigned to the newspaper or newsletter, the applicant should provide this information in space 1 of the application under the heading marked "ISSN." For a general discussion of ISSN numbers, see Chapter 600, Section 612.6(C).
If this is the first time that the newspaper or newsletter has been submitted for registration using the group registration option, the applicant should check the box marked "If no previous registration under identical title check here." If the applicant received a written communication from CAD indicating that the Library has or has not included the newsletter in its collections, the applicant should attach a copy of that communication to the application. See Section 1111.5(B).
Currently, applicants cannot provide titles for the various articles, photographs, illustrations, or other contributions that appear within each issue when submitting an application for a group registration. If the applicant would like to include this information in the registration record, the applicant should submit a separate application for each issue using the online application or a paper application submitted on Form SE. For information concerning the procedures for registering a single issue of a serial publication, see Chapter 700, Section 712.
1112.2 Space 2: Author / Claimant
As discussed in Sections 1110.2 and 1111.2, all the issues in the group must be created by the same author(s), the copyright in each issue must be owned by the same copyright claimant(s), and the author(s) and the claimant(s) must be the same person or organization.
