Description/Instructions

Field 362 contains the beginning and/or ending numbering of an item. It may also include phrases such as "new ser.," either transcribed from the source of cataloging or supplied in brackets, that distinguish different successive numbering sequences for the same publication. Chronological designations used in this field are dates that identify individual issues of the serial. Publication dates, when recorded, are input in field 260. Incomplete dates are not used in this field; uncertain dates/numbers may be given in an unformatted style followed by a question mark.

In CONSER standard records (CSR), catalogers use a single unformatted 362 field with an informal note (see first indicator "1") to record beginning and/or ending numbering/dates of publication whenever this information is available, regardless of whether the first/last issue(s) are in hand.

Formatted-style statements of the beginning and ending designations of a serial (with first indicator "0") may appear in records that do not follow CSR recommended guidelines (because they were created for specialized resources or were created before CSR guidelines were adopted).

Editing instructions

1. Captions and months may be transcribed as found (including abbreviations and capitalization) or they may be recorded using standard AACR2 abbreviations.

On piece:	Volume 1, number 1 January 2011
In record:	362 1# Began with: Volume 1, number 1 (January 2011).
Or:	362 1# Began with: Vol. 1, no. 1 (Jan. 2011).

2. Numbers (including ordinal numbers) may be transcribed as found or they may be recorded as Arabic numerals, whichever is easier.

On piece:	Number One
In record:	362 1# Began with: Number One.
Or:	362 1# Began with: No. 1.

3. If the beginning numbering is not present or known, but the year the publication began is known, provide the year.

362 1# Began in 2011.

4. If numbering includes both issue number and date, put parentheses around the date.

On piece:	Volume 1, number 1 January 2011
In record:	362 1# Began with: Volume 1, number 1 (January 2011).
Or:	362 1# Began with: Vol. 1, no. 1 (Jan. 2011).

5. Include new series designations, changes in numbering, etc., in this field or in the 515, whichever is clearer. (Cf. LCRI 12.7B10).

362 1# Began in 1943. Original numbering ended with Vol. 10, No. 12 (June 1952).

None published July 1952-June 1974. New numbering began with: No. 1 (July 1974). Ceased in 1975.

NOTE: CSR guidelines implemented in 2007 recommend exclusive use of the 362 unformatted style note (362 field, with indicators 1#). In May 2007, LCRIs describing formatted style notes, LCRI 12.3B1 through LCRI 12.3G, were removed with the revision of LCRI 12.3. For libraries wishing to give numbering in a formatted field (362 0#), the LCRIs will remain available for consultation in past issues of Cataloging Service Bulletin [http://www.loc.gov/cds/PDFdownloads/csb/index.html] and in instructions given in the CONSER Cataloging Manual.

First indicator - Format of date

0 Formatted style.

Formatted-style statements may appear in serial records that do not follow CSR recommended guidelines (because they were created for specialized resources or were created before CSR guidelines were adopted). The formatted style is used only for serials when the first and/or last issue is in hand. According to AACR2, the numeric and/or alphabetic, chronological, or other designation must be recorded as it appears on the piece. When first indicator value "0" is used, information contained in field 362 subfield $a may print following the title/statement of responsibility or edition statement (when present) on output.

362 0# 1977. [Serial complete in one volume.]

362 0# Disc 1 (1785/1979)- [Computer file with retrospective first disc.]

362 0# Vol. 1, no. 1 (spring/summer 1987)-v. 6, no. 1 (1995).

362 0# No. 1-no 6 ; [new ser.], no. 1-no. 3 ; [3rd ser.], no. 1-

Specialized resources such as those in non-roman script, law serials, rare serials, newspapers, etc., have specialized requirements not included in this basic documentation. In some cases records for these resources will reflect formatted style numbering notes.

362 0#

362 0# 2010 nian di 1 qi- = zong di 157 qi-

588 ## Description based on: 2010 nian di 1 qi; title from cover.

588 ## Latest issue consulted: 2010 nian di 1 qi.

In formatted-style statements, if more than one form of designation is given on the first and/or last piece, input both designations in subfield $a, separated by a space-equals sign-space ( = ). If incomplete, input one space after the first hyphen.

362 0# Vol. 1, no. 1 (May 1981)-v. 3, no. 1 (May 1983) = no. 1-no. 9.

362 0# Vol. 3, no. 7- = no. 31-

In formatted-style statements, input succeeding systems in the same subfield $a separated by a space-semicolon-space.

362 0# Oct. 1970-Dec. 1980 ; new ser., v. 1, no. 1 (Jan. 1981)-

1 Unformatted note.

In a record created according to CSR guidelines field 362 is always used in unformatted note style. Supply numbering/dates of publication of the first/last issues in an unformatted 362 whenever this information is available, regardless of whether the first/last issue(s) are in hand.

When first indicator value "1" is input, information contained in field 362 prints in the note area on output.

362 1# Began in July 1949.

362 1# Began with: v. 4, published in 1947.

362 1# Ceased with: 2 (1964).

Subfields

$a Dates of publication and/or sequential designation.

Issue dates and volume designations are recorded as given on the serial. When both a numeric designation and a chronological designation are given, the chronological designation is enclosed in parentheses.

362 1# Began with: Vol. 1 (Mar. 1980).

362 1# Began with: Vol. 77, núm. 1 (enero-abr. 1981).

362 1# Ceased with: v. 9.

362 1# Ceased with: 2 (1959).

Use a single unformatted 362 field to record beginning and ending numbering/dates of publication whenever this information is available.

362 1# Began with: Vol. 85B, no. 1 (Jan./Feb. 1945); ceased with: v. 92, no. 6 (Nov./Dec. 1952).

Use field 515 for information about numbering changes in a CONSER standard record or when issues are not available.

362 1# Began with: Oct. 1970.

515 ## Designation restarted as new ser., v. 1, no. 1, in Jan. 1981.

Include in subfield $a the designation of the first issue published on a regular basis. Do not input designations for preview or sample issues. If necessary, include this information in field 515.

362 1# Began with issue for Mar. 1973.

515 ## Preceded by a "preview edition" dated Oct. 1972.

362 1# Began with: Vol. 1, no. 1 (May 1982).

515 ## Introductory number called v. 1, no. 0, issued Mar. 1982.

When cataloging regular-print reprints or photo reproductions, give the designation of the original and not that of the reprint or reproduction.

The beginning dates of the print version, when known, may be given in a 362 1# field. Give this note in addition to the "Description based on note" to provide justification for the fixed field beginning date.

362 1# Print began with: Vol. 3, no. 1 (Jan. 1984).

Do not give a 362 1# "Print began with" note when the beginning date of the print or other original format is not known. Give an unknown fixed field date in this case.

$z Source of information.

Subfield $z is used only with an unformatted note (1st indicator value "1") to cite a published source. The title of the publication is always preceded by the abbreviation "Cf."

362 1# Began with: 1962/64. $z Cf. New serial titles.

CONSER catalogers should delete $z, if it pertains only to the "Began with" portion of the note, when combining two unformatted 362 fields. LC does not use $z.

$6 Linkage.

For instructions on the use of subfield $6, see field 880.

Additional instructions

1. When there is more than one designation omitted from the title and statement of responsibility area and both cannot be represented in field 362 or 588, the first is given as the designation and the other is covered by a note, field 515 (Cf. LCRI 12.3).
