I think the frequency referred to here is what Marc21 refers to as semi
monthly, bimonthly being used for periodicals published every two months. The
nearest to this is the current one issue every two weeks. For clarification
here's the definition of the terms as found in some oclc MARC documentation.


a Annual. The item is issued or updated once a year.
b Bimonthly. The item is issued or updated every two months. Use also for
publications whose frequency is identified as six, seven or eight numbers a
year.

c Semiweekly. The item is issued or updated twice a week.

d Daily. The item is issued or updated once a day. May include Saturday and
Sunday.

e Biweekly. The item is issued or updated every two weeks.

f Semiannual. The item is issued or updated twice a year. Use also for
publications whose frequency is identified as two numbers a year.

g Biennial. The item is issued or updated every two years.

h Triennial. The item is issued or updated every three years.

i Three times a week. The item is issued or updated three times a week.

j Three times a month. The item is issued or updated three times a month.

k Continuously updated. The item is updated more frequently than daily.

m Monthly. The item is issued or updated every month. Includes frequencies of
nine, ten, eleven or twelve numbers a year.

q Quarterly. The item is issued or updated every three months. Use also for
publications whose frequency is identified as four numbers a year.

s Semimonthly. The item is issued or updated twice a month.

t Three times a year. The item is issued or updated three times a year.

u Unknown. The current frequency is not known. 

w Weekly. The item is issued once a week.

z Other. The frequency of the item cannot be defined by any of the other codes.

Koha frequencies assume reqular intervals. This may not correspond correctly to
actual publishing patterns. i.e. two issues a year nay not be evenly spaced six
months apart.  

Needs thought...
