Add a serial issue

Once you've found the serial (via Discover Items), then:

Use the Issues screen to manage and receive issues from current subscriptions.
Use the Copies screen for a comprehensive view of your serial holdings and the ability to edit them.
Use the Holds view to see item-level holdings (items are the parts that make up the subscription). Each item has a barcode.

When creating or editing issues, make sure the issue metadata (captions, chronology type, etc.) is based on the data from the issue itself. If you want to change the issue metadata to anything other than what appears on the issue itself, make these changes in your library’s WorldCat holdings.
