V y P Contribution Spirituality and Aging tdUecl In, Melv# A. KhnUe, PliD Viktor Frankl’s Contribution to Spirituality and Aging Viktor Frankl’s Contribution to Spirituality and Aging has been co-published simultaneously as Journal of Religious Gerontology, Volume 11, Numbers 3/4 2000. The Journal of Religious Gerontology Monographic ‘“‘Separates” (formerly Journal of Religion & Aging)* 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” arc published because specialized llibraries 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” arc 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.
