Okay, that seems to work for the first issue, but not when you go to receive the next. Any other ideas? Nicole On Fri, Jan 6, 2012 at 4:09 PM, Nicole Engard <nengard@gmail.com> wrote:

Nicole,
I would use a X, Y, Z numbering pattern (Volume, number, Issue. Starting Volume at 42, starting Number at 7 and Issue at 8. Numbering formula is Volume {X} #{Y}/{Z}
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
Values for X Add : 1 once every: 6 other values should be ok
Values for Y Add : 2 oncer every : 1 When more than 12 Set back to 1
Values for Z Add : 2 oncer every : 1 When more than 12 Set back to: 2
I didn't try it but I'm pretty confident that it should work.
Hope that helps,

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! _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
