creating a new subscription for a journal with continuous numbering
Hello, I am setting up serials subscriptions in Koha and have a question about creating the prediction pattern for a particular title. The Journal of the American Statistical Association comes out quarterly and the volume changes every year. However, the numbering is continuous. The copy I have in hand is Volume 104, Number 486. Can someone explain how to create a custom prediction for this title? Thanks, Adam Adam Balcziunas Serials & Reference Librarian Landman Library Arcadia University 215.572.2842
Adam, I think you're going to have to use the Advanced Pattern planer and set the vol to roll over at 12 and the number (or issue) to not roll over until 999999 - or some insanely large number. http://koha.org/documentation/manual/3.0/serials/create-subscription --- Nicole C.

You can choose Numbering formula: Volume {X}, Number {Y}, {Z} (Z if you want the year for instance) Then you edit advanced pattern : For X : Add : 1 once every : 4 (every 4 issues for a quarterly, as volume changes every year) When more than 9999999 inner counter Set back to 0 Begins with 104 inner counter : if you begin with first issue of the year write nothing or 0; if you begin with the second issue (april-june for instance), inner counter = 1 (you say to koha to take into account already one "received" issue, to calculate when the volume changes) ; ... For Y : Add : 1 once every : 1 (for each received issue) When more than 9999999 inner counter : same as for X Set back to 0 Begins with 486 For Z : Add : 1 once every : 4 When more than 9999999 inner counter : same as for X Set back to 0 Begins with 2009 You let "When more than 9999999" , "Set back to 0",as volume, number and year increase continuously Regards, Laurence -- ------------------------ Laurence Lefaucheur BibLibre solutions libres pour les bibliothèques http://www.biblibre.com laurence.lefaucheur@biblibre.com p. 06 27 85 46 49

You let "When more than 9999999" , "Set back to 0",as volume, number and year increase continuously
