[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Publication patterns

[Mieke Stroo]

Hi Tara,

Thanks for your reply. I've already figured out the prediction for serials with 5 and 10 copies a year. 

(for 5 times a year it's:
5 times a year, restarting issue numbers and continuous Volume:
["2","0","8","1","a","vol.","b","no.","u","5","v","r","i","(year)","j","(month)","w","b","x","01","y","om09","y","om12"]

5 times a year continuous numbering and no Volume:
["2","0","8","1","a","no.","u","5","v","c","i","(year)","j","(month)","w","b","x","01","y","om09","y","om12"])

We have a whole list of different patterns. I have to do some translation because all the comments are now in Dutch. I could do that this week and send it to you. The next challenge is 7 and 8 issues a year... 

Kind regards,

Mieke

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in replying...

I can't speak to this specific prediction pattern. I'll be working
more on predictions in the following weeks, if I figure out anything
useful I'll reply.

Currently there is no standard for sharing serials prediction
patterns. A few of us (some Sitka, KCLS folks and Chris Cormack from
Koha) had a really good conversation about this at the pub, and
hopefully the Evergreen and Koha communities can figure out a way for
libraries to share these. Are you interested in helping figure this
out?

Cheers,
Tara

I've been searching for them, but could not find anything on the website. We already made a lot of different usable patterns, so maybe we can contribute.
