Serials: Designations in Notes
When it is known that data in a note do not apply to all issues of a serial, give in the note the designations of the first and last issues to which they do apply. Prefer chronological designations because generally they are more succinct and meaningful than numeric designations.
Numeric and chronological designations as given in these notes may be condensed to whatever extent is possible without distorting the clarity of the statement or making it unclear which actual issues carried the data given. In case of doubt as to whether the note will be clear with condensed designations, do not condense the designations.

Integrating Resources: Identification of Iterations in Notes
LC/PCC practice: When a data element (e.g., title proper, statement of responsibility) changes, give information to locate in time the presence of the earlier data element. If exact information about the timing of the change is not readily available, use information already in the record: for electronic integrating resources, use the date from the "viewed on" information; for non-electronic integrating resources, use information from a "Description based on" note; give such information in angle brackets.

span of dates on serial issues: märts 1980-dets. 1981
in note: märts 1980-1981

For information about notes for the components of a loose-leaf service, see the "Loose-Leaf Services" section in LCRI 12.0.
For notes on bibliographic relationships, see rule 12.7B8 and its LCRI 12.7B8.
Electronic Resources: Change in Type and Extent of Resource Area
PCC practice:
a. Serials. If information for the type and extent of resource area is added, deleted, or changed on a subsequent issue or part, make a note if the change is considered to be important.
b. Integrating resources. If the information for the type and extent of resource area is added, deleted, or changed on a subsequent iteration, change the type and extent of resource area to reflect the latest iteration and make a note if the change is considered to be important.
Note: LC does not use this area.
