Hello Jacqueline, we have followed the AACR2 guidelines for
showing holdings.
v.1 no.1  1994-

if your system is similar to the one I use you get  to give the beginning
issue/volume as well as the ending issue/volume (whether the title is closed
or a current subscription is active and you are checking the items in the
system. This info is in the Summary Holdings sections.

I hope this is of some help to you, bye for now, Carla.

Jacqueline:

The State Library Of Ohio is a member of OhioLINK, and follow their standards,
which are NISO, level 3, summary holdings.

We find this works very well for our library.  Summary holdings are much
easier for patrons to read, and if we indicate incomplete holdings, they can
expect that there is a possibility the issue they may not be there.

Our holdings are summarized as follows:

v.1:no.1(1995)-  (incomplete holdings)

If you like I can provide a copy of our standards.  Just let me know.  Hope
this has been of some help.

Subject:      Automated holdings information--format

  I want to thank everyone for their advice on how to close the
  kardex, and automate completely.  Your instructions were invaluable.  I
  do have one other question, however.  This, I'm afraid, may be rather
  elementary.  I have examined our automation software thoroughly, and now
  know where to transcribe holdings information, as well as staff notes to
  each serial record.  The question I have is what format is best for
  describing holdings information.  I have heard of NISO standards but do
  not know the particulars.  Do you write--Volume 1, number 3:
  January-February 1994-.  Any suggestions are appreciated.  Please excuse
  the basic nature of this inquiry but once this is established, we are
  closer to completing our project.  I also want to use a standardized
  format.  Thank you in advance.
