[Bug 3681] New: No bimonthly frequency option for serials subscriptions
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.

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.
