- 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. **Example:** 1990:no.4-1990:no.7, 1990:no.10-1995 //can be written as:// 1990:no.4-7, 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. **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 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. Combining "4-5, 7-8" makes the statement easier to read. | + | - 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.

- | - 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). | + | - Do **not** combine 2nd level enumeration if adjoining preceding or following 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). v.2 (1946)-v.3:no.2,4-5 (1947), v.6 (1950) //better as:// v.2 (1946)-v.3:no.2 (1947), v.3:no.4-5 (1947), v.6 (1950) |
