Specifically, these codes determine the order of the different units in a chronology display: that is, which one comes first, second, third, fourth, and so on. In addition these codes determine:
• | The calendar units included in the chronology. Month, day of week, day of month, year, season, and so forth. |
• | The order of the different units in a chronology. That is, which one comes first, second, third, fourth, and so on. |
• | Whether the units are abbreviated or fully spelled out. |
• | Whether punctuation appears and where (before or after a specified calendar unit). |
The actual date, month, year, and so forth that displays is determined by the prediction pattern on the Edit Serials Prediction Table window. You enter the code on the second page of the Edit Serials Prediction Table window for any given title. When library staff display pending issues to be checked in, Serials uses the specified code to display the issues correctly.
