ENUMERATION AND CHRONOLOGY
-
When both the enumeration and chronology are present, both the enumeration
and chronology data should be recorded.
-
If a title does not carry enumeration, do not supply it.
-
Record enumeration and chronology data in logical sequence; that
is, lowest enumeration data to highest, earliest date to latest.
-
In summary level (level 3), a final hyphen shall be used if the holdings
are open.
Example:
-
At the summary level (level 3), record only the highest level of enumeration
and chronology data for multipart and serial units.
Example:
Volume 8
Number 1, January 1998
Number 2, May 1998
Number 3, September 1998
Number 4, December 1998 |
Summary level (level 3) holdings statement: v.8 (1998)-
-
Record all four digits of the year. :
Example:
| Record as 1993/1994 NOT 1993/94 |
The range of holdings should only be broken by the recording of gaps.
(SEE GAPS BELOW)
CAPTIONS
-
Captions associated with enumeration may be recorded with the enumeration.
The recording of captions is recommended, but optional.
-
If the parts of the unit have no captions, do not supply captions.
-
Abbreviate captions in accordance with the appropriate portions of
"Abbreviations," Appendix B, AACR2rev.
-
When a symbol with a recognized textual equivalent appears on the piece
as a caption, record the textual equivalent or its abbreviation.
-
Record captions with a lower-case letter, unless the language of the caption
requires an upper-case first letter.
-
When a caption is abbreviated and ends in a period, no blank shall separate
the caption and the enumeration.
Examples:
tome 10 becomes t.10
number 2 becomes no. 2
Band 3 becomes Bd.3
volume 5 becomes v.5 not vol.5
#6 becomes no.6
nmbr 3 remains nmbr 3 (NOTE: an unabbreviated caption is
followed by a blank)
3. Tiel becomes T.3 |
SEQUENTIAL DESIGNATORS
Convert all numeric information to Arabic numbers
Examples:
VII becomes 4
six becomes 6 |
Optionally, ordinal numbers may be converted to cardinal numbers.
If ordinal numbers are recorded, follow Appendix C (Ordinal Numbers), Anglo-American
Cataloging Rules (current edition and revision).
Examples:
first becomes 1st or 1
troisieme becomes 3e or 3
3. Teil becomes T.3 |
Record uppercase and lowercase alphabetic characters as they appear.
Examples:
When an item is issued with combined numbering, separate the numbers by
a diagonal.
Example:
v.5/6
In level 3 (summary level holdings), end the statement with a final
hyphen if the holdings are open.
Example:
Bd.1(1968)-
GAPS
At the summary level (level 3), determine when a gap occurs based on
whether any portion of a bibliographic unit is held. In other words,
at the summary level (level 3), if any part of a unit identified by a first-level
enumeration is present, record the unit as held.
Example: v. 78, no. 2 is not available online
Volume 80, Issue 1, 28 February 1999
Volume 79, Issue 2-3, 1 February 1999
Volume 79, Issue 1, 15 January 1999
Volume 78, Issue 3, 13 November 1998
Volume 78, Issue 1, 1 August 1998
Summary level (level 3) holdings statement = v.78(1998)-
BUT if it can be determined that the entire unit (volume 79) is not
available:
Volume 80, Issue 1, 28 February 1999
Volume 78, Issue 3, 13 November 1998
Volume 78, Issue 1-2, 1 August 1998
Summary level holdings statement = v.78(1998),v.80(1999)-
SECONDARY BIBLIOGRAPHIC UNITS
At the summary level (level 3), secondary bibliographic units need not
be separately recorded if the resulting statement is unambiguous.
Supplements to a single issue of serial unit are generally not recorded
at the summary level (level 3)
Example:
1998
10/4
10/3
10/2
10/1
Supplements:
10/S1
Summary level (level 3) holdings = 10(1998)-
HOLDINGS NOTE AREA
Use if desirable to enumerate specifically parts of an item that are
not held or to indicate a nongap break.
[It would be my recommendation that we keep the notes as general as
necessary and not try and indicate gaps. My examples are only that
and not meant to be prescriptive.]
Examples:
v.108 (1996)- -- Some issues missing
Bd.23 (1998)- -- Only abstracts available for some issues
v.97 (1995)- -- Latest three years not available online
