Hi Charles First of all, I don't really have much to do with the serials module, so if someone with better knowledge is available then please ignore this. My understanding is that the recording of frequencies in the bibliographic record is intended for OPAC use, (so users can have some idea as to how regular a serial frequency is), but the frequency in the serials module is to help staff with predicting when a subscribed serial issue is due to arrive (prediction patterns and all that). One does not necessarily have anything to do with the other. In the serials module you'd need to change the subscription frequency when it changed, but not keep historical frequencies. I hope this helps.

My library is beginning to implement the serials module, but we have a question. How does Koha handle serials with variable frequencies? Case in point: Starlog. According to WorldCat and the Library of Congress, Starlog had three frequencies during its run. To copy the 310 and 321 fields, 310 ␣␣ ‡a Monthly, ‡b <Jan. 1982-> 321 ␣␣ ‡a Quarterly, ‡b Aug. 1976- 321 ␣␣ ‡a 8 times a year, ‡b <Dec. 1978-> How are the three frequencies entered into Koha? Thanks for your help, everyone! P. S. Sorry for the extra spacing and the "␣". I now use "␣" for the space in indicators in order to be absolutely clear an indicator is blank. -- よろしくお願いします。 -- Charles.
