[Koha] Contents information for serials

[Elaine Bradtke]

I suppose it depends on how you handle your serials.  If you're cataloguing
each issue as a separate bib, then you could use the formatted contents
note (505 in MARC 21).
For an example of a bib with an extensive 505 (in a sound recording) see
http://catalogue.efdss.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=65000

We don't catalogue individual issues, but catalogue articles of note and
then link them to the serial record with a Host Item Entry (773)


To see the links in action between a serial title and the indexed articles,
look up Fiddler Magazine in the same catalogue.
