[Evergreen-general] [Evergreen-catalogers] [External] Serials Chronology Question

Thu Mar 10 14:28:19 EST 2022

Hi Irene,

*Does anyone know how the Alternative Chronology Captions is supposed to
work?*

The alternative enumeration works like the regular enumeration option. It's
just meant to help record any instances of serials that require fascicles or
any other numbering schemes in addition to a regular scheme of enumeration
(example: *NGS Magazine *January - March 2022; Volume 48, Number 1). The
Serials module was built rather rigidly based on the LOC 853-855 - Captions
and Pattern-General Information
<https://www.loc.gov/marc/holdings/hd853855.html>
In the Enumeration Labels tab (corresponding to the LOC Enumeration
caption), the regular enumeration allows for up to 6 levels of enumeration,
while the Alternative allows for up to 2 levels.
In the Chronology Display tab (corresponding to the LOC Chronology
caption), the regular chronology allows for up to 4 levels of chronology,
while the alternative chronology allows for 1 level. The Evergreen pattern
wizard is mirroring the LOC standards.

*I will say that I also miss the capability of simply pasting in a raw
pattern code.*
I agree with you. Sharing pattern codes and directly entering JSON was an
advantage in the Serials module. I thought that I already created a bug for
it, but I'm not seeing one.

Does this help?

Thank You,
Erica
