http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3681 Summary: No bimonthly frequency option for serials subscriptions Product: Koha Version: rel_3_0 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux - Debian Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 Component: Serials AssignedTo: paul.poulain@biblibre.com ReportedBy: Ian.Walls@med.nyu.edu Estimated Hours: 0.0 Change sponsored?: --- Bimonthly serials (published twice a month, or 24 times a year), do not have an available frequency in serials/subscription-add.pl. 2/week does not work, since that expects 26 issues per volume. Using irregular is problematic, particularly when bimonthly is quite regular and common. Shouldn't be too hard to add a case in the Javascript to handle this; value 13 is still available, but logically, this should be value 4 or 5. That would require displacing existing periodicity values, however. A better, larger solution would be to change the values from numeric to alphanumeric, and match them to the MARC 21 Format for Holdings Data 853$ field (http://www.loc.gov/marc/holdings/hd853855.html): a - Annual j - Three times a month b - Bimonthly k - Continuously updated c - Semiweekly m - Monthly d - Daily q - Quarterly e - Biweekly s - Semimonthly f - Semiannual t - Three times a year g - Biennial w - Weekly h - Triennial x - Completely irregular i - Three times a week This would improve standardization, provide more immediate options, and increase the flexibility to add new options down the road, without insertion problems. A numeric can also be taken in 853$w to indicate the number of issues per year, for an irregular serial. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
