I would use a X, Y, Z numbering pattern (Volume, number, Issue.
Starting Volume at 42, starting Number at 7 and </font></font>Issue
at 8.<br>
Numbering formula is Volume {X} #{Y}/{Z}<br>
<br>
The trick is that you will have to use the Advanced Pattern since Y
and Z must increment by 2 every time you receive an issue<br>
<br>
Values for X<br>
Add : 1<br>
once every: 6<br>
other values should be ok<br>
<br>
Values for Y<br>
Add : 2<br>
oncer every : 1<br>
When more than 12<br>
Set back to 1<br>
<br>
Values for Z<br>
Add : 2<br>
oncer every : 1<br>
When more than 12<br>
Set back to: 2<br>
<br>
I didn't try it but I'm pretty confident that it should work.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps,<br>

<pre wrap="">I have a strange Serial planning question. American Libraries
publishes 6 issue a year, and number them like this:
Volume 42 #7/8
Volume 42 #9/10
Volume 42 #11/12
Can anyone come up with a way to enter this in to Koha to allow for
this type of numbering? All I can come up with (and it's way sloppy)
is to tell Koha that it's 12 issues a year and then delete every other
issue and manually edit the volume/number field to show 7/8 or 9/10
etc.
Thanks in advance for any tips you can provide.
Nicole
PS. I am still looking for serials planning examples from all types of
journals/magazines so that I can share them in the manual and save new
Koha librarians time!
