| - Holdings statements indicating gaps should be entered on one line only. Enter a space after each comma. This assures that the text will wrap correctly in the OPAC display. | - Holdings statements indicating gaps should be entered on one line only. Enter a space after each comma.

| - | - There is no need to add any more than the first and last number around a gap. For the first example above, v.26 (1992)-v.29:no.1-6 (1995), v.29:no.8-12 (1995)-v.33 (1999) would be incorrect. | + | - There is no need to add any more than the first and last number around a gap.

| - Frequency considerations. In this example, we know that the periodical is a monthly. If it had a greater frequency or was irregular (frequency unknown), the holdings would be expressed as v.26 (1992)-v.29:no.6 (1995), v.29:no.8-12 (1995), v.30 (1996)-v.33 (1999) | - Frequency considerations.

| - Where there is a combined year, we repeat the combination after every number in the incomplete statement, even though it may be more literally accurate not to do this: v.3:no.1 (1941/1942), v.3:no.3-6 (1941/1942), versus v.3:no.1 (1941), v.3:no.3-6 (1942). Following the latter procedure would entail too much labor-intensive checking of individual volumes. | - Where there is a combined year, we repeat the combination after every number in the incomplete statement, even though it may be more literally accurate not to do this: v.3:no.1 (1941/1942), v.3:no.3-6 (1941/1942), versus v.3:no.1 (1941), v.3:no.3-6 (1942).
