We are in the process of updating the 866 field in MARC holdings rather than CHECKING IN our print periodicals.

Does anyone know if there is a 'standard' format that should be used for updating periodical holdings.  I've checked several library catalogs & I honestly can't say that I see a set format (spacing, wording, etc.) for SUMMARY holdings.

Here are several examples:

866   0   |81|ano. 30 (1994:summer) - no. 56 (2008:spring)

866   0   |81|ano. 30 (Sum 1994) - no. 56 (Spr 2008)

866   0   |81|ano.30(06/1994) - no.56(03/2008)
