12.3E. Alternative numbering, etc., systems

Record a second or third system of numeric and/or chronological designation with the first system if it, too, identifies the issue (cf. 12.3B1). Prefer to record as the first a system that uses the form of volume number and internal number. If more than one numeric system is recorded, generally record the chronological system with the first numeric system (cf. 12.3C4).

Give in a note information about a second or third system of numeric/alphabetic designation that does not identify the item (cf. 12.7B8) whenever the second or third system appears prominently enough on the publication for one to assume that the serial may be asked for by that system.
