   - 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). ​ Following the latter procedure would entail too much labor-intensive checking of individual volumes.
-  - 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 ​//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 preceding or following ​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. ​ Combining "4-5, 7-8" makes the statement easier to read.
