Hello SERIALST!

 

I am a new library director at a small liberal arts college (library staff of 2), and I am now responsible for a huge binding project of our automotive literature. I just added myself to this list, and I’ll look forward to learning from you all!

 

I have a couple situations that I’m not 100% sure what to do with:

·         We have a monthly publication, Motor Service, that does not include volume or issue numbers. In that case, would I just include the publication name and date range on the bound spine? i.e.:

Motor Service

Jan-Jun 1966

·         We have some publications that ended or changed names mid-year. For instance, the final publication year of Sports Car Graphic only runs through June, even though a volume was typically Jan-Dec. In that case, do I consider these issues a full volume, or should I specify the month range? i.e.:

Sports Car Graphic

11

1971

 

vs.

Sports Car Graphic

11

Jan-Jun 1971

 

Thanks for your help!

Jamie
