Hi Yamil:

bib_level comes from MARC leader[07] "bibliographic level" attribute:
http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdleader.html

For the case of Journal Title, it simply appends "bib_level=s" to the backend search to limit results to records that have that leader[07] value set to "s" for "serial".
