Volume and Issue Numbering in Journals
Hi, all! My library is implementing the serials module. We have been watching video tutorials, especially this one by ByWater Solutions: Deep Dive: Serials in Koha (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFnS7BK5aPM&t=27s). It seems easy enough -- yes, famous last words, comparable to Innovative Interfaces, Inc. and other ILS serial modules. However, the tutorial is clearly for single-number periodicals, i.e., each issue is its own issue number. Using the tutorial example, Martha Stewart Living, no. 390, no. 391, no. 392, etc. How does Koha handle two-number and three-number periodicals, i.e., a journal with a volume and issue number, e.g., The Journal of the American Medical Association with vol. 3:no. 6, vol. 3:no. 7, etc.? Many thanks, all! -- よろしくお願いします。 -- Charles.

Charles We're in a similar situation of just starting to look at the serials module. I can only speak for 21.11. You need to create an appropriate numbering formula, or borrow one from the wiki. Pattern library: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Serial_Pattern_Library There are three variables, so volume / issue is not a problem. https://koha-community.org/manual//21.11/en/html/serials.html It's a little tricky, but thankfully there's a test button that will show you what Koha will do with the info you entered.
