<BR>
This problem isn’t going to help with what your asking, but this is how I manage the Serials in our Library.<BR>
<BR>
1. I have a Bibliographic Record for the Serial Title.<BR>
2. I utilise the Serials Module functionality in Koha to manage the Subscription(s) and Acquisition/Receiving of issues of the Serial Titles.<BR>
3. I then attach a holding record to the Serial’s Bibliographic Record for the issue, and because we store a year’s worth of issues of a Serial Title in <BR>
a pamphlet box, I also utilise what we call a ‘Serials Summary’ generic holding record which is attached to the bibliographic record and is<BR>
updated every time a new holding record is created for a received serial issue.<BR>
<BR>
I have attached to this email, in Microsoft Word (.doc) format, an example of how our Serial Bibliographic Record and Holdings Records appear in the Koha OPAC.<BR>
<BR>
Paul, unfortunately, I can’t shed any light onto the type of functionality you are looking for in regards to abstracts, etc., but I thought I would share my method of dealing with Serials in my Library.<BR>
<BR>
Kindest Regards,<BR>
Joel<BR>
