| - 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. 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. Combining "4-5, 7-8" makes the statement easier to read. But do **not** combine 2nd level enumeration directly in front of the next volume, as this can create ambiguity: 1990:no.830-831, 832-1991 (versus 1990:no.830-831, 1990:no.832-1991); v.7:no.6-7, 9 (1992)-v.11 (1993) (versus v.7:no.6-7 (1992), v.7:no.9 (1992)-v.11 (1993)). | + | - UMass policy is to allow a combination of 2nd level enumeration (without repeating the captions) as long as no gap exists within the combination. **Example:** 1990:no.4-1990:no.7, 1990:no.10-1995. 1990:no.4-7, 1990:no.10-1995 //can be written as:// 1990:no.4-7, 1990:no.10-1995. |
| + | - Exception: More than one gap exists in a volume's 2nd level enumeration, but not if adjoining the next volume in the statement. **Example:** 1990:no.4-5, 1990:no.7-8, 1990:no.10-1995 //can be written as// 1990:no.4-5,7-8,1990:no.10-1995.

| + | - Do **not** combine 2nd level enumeration if adjoining next volume, as this can create ambiguity. **Examples: ** 1990:no.830-831, 832-1991 //better as:// 1990:no.830-831, 1990:no.832-1991; v.7:no.6-7, 9 (1992)-v.11 (1993) //better as:// v.7:no.6-7 (1992), v.7:no.9 (1992)-v.11 (1993)). | ||
