Hi Lisa,

I am attaching a word document with the JSON code that has worked for us in Forsyth County for Forbes.  It is really tricky. In general, we use the "completely irregular" frequency, identify Monday as the day of the week it is published and then omit all of the extra weeks.  I hope this works for you!

Anytime I see "semi-monthly except...", I have to use a weekly attack.

We're in the NC Cardinal Consortium with you so please feel free to reach out to us anytime.

Thanks,


Jennifer

Hi Lisa,

Have you checked the serials patterns page on the Evergreen wiki - http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=acq:serials:patterns?

On the page, there is a link (just updated this morning) to a C/W MARS page that lists the patterns their libraries are using for specific publications - http://monitor.cwmars.org/dashboard/serials.php. I noticed that there are several libraries that have a pattern listed for Forbes. I can't speak to which pattern is the best one to use, but it should give you some examples to try.

I hope this helps!

Kathy

This might be a very specific question, but does anyone use the serials module and subscribe to Forbes? I have tried creating the JSON code about 4 times now and each time the predictions are way off. Has anyone been able to create a code that predicts this title correctly? If so, can I steal your JSON code?
