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.
You may wish to visit Haworth's website at...

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