| - 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).

| - | - UMass policy is to allow a combination of 2nd level enumeration (without repeating the captions) as long as no gap exists within the combination: 1990:no.4-7, 1990:no.10-1995 versus 1990:no.4-1990:no.7, 1990:no.10-1995 | + | - UMass policy is to allow a combination of 2nd level enumeration (without repeating the captions) as long as no gap exists within the combination: 1990:no.4-7, 1990:no.10-1995 versus 1990:no.4-1990:no.7, 1990:no.10-1995. Exception: More than one gap exists in a volume's 2nd level enumeration, but not right before the next volume in the statement; see following example: 1990:no.4-5, 1990:no.7-8, 1990:no.10-1995 = 1990:no.4-5,7-8,1990:no.10-1995. This form is easier to read. |
