In other words, how could I get two entries, no. 1-6 (1966) and no. 7-12 (1966) to be listed on two separate lines one below the other, and the same thing for all the other years?
It doesn't seem to matter what indicators I use in the 853 field. It still separates them by the level of enumeration.
The vol./no. data is grouped together in Discovery and the list counts down by year.
In this case the year is being used as chronology, but we want instead to use year as the first level of enumeration.
If a designation consists of a year and a number that is a division of the year, give the year before the number.
Here is an example that uses the 863 $a and $b:
MARC | WorldCat Discovery |
853 21 $8 1 $a (year:no.) | |
863 31 $8 1.1 $a 1966 $b 1-6 | 1966: no.1-1966: no.6 |
863 31 $8 1.2 $a 1966 $b 7-12 | 1966: no.7-1966: no.12 |
The enumeration can also be done all in one 863 subfield $a as below:
