  1. Separate the enumeration from the chronology with a space-straight line ( | )- space.

    Mo-v,12no | yr,mo 

  2. When there is no enumeration, the chronology follows the frequency {/language} and dash 

E.g., An-yr  

Qr/fre-yr,seas 
 

 a. Separate each level of chronology with a comma but no space (e.g., yr,mo,day)  

 

 b. Do not use ending punctuation in abbreviations (e.g., yr,mo)

 

B. Captions

  1. Since Voyager provides a pop-up menu for chronology, the possibilities are more limited than for enumeration.  
  2. Use English captions and abbreviations found below.

    Abbreviations yr - year mo - month day (no abbreviation) wk - week seas - season mo-mo - month span (e.g., July-Sept.)

  1. Use the following abbreviations: Spring--Sp, Summer--Su, Autumn--Au (use also for Fall), Winter--Wi    
  2.   Indicate the actual seasons when not all four are issued, as in the case of a semiannual (e.g., Sa-v,2no | yr,seas[Sp/Au])

  3. For a quarterly, indicate which season is issued first in the calendar year by adding in brackets the abbreviation for the season (E.g., Qr-v,4no | yr,seas[Wi=1]. Reminder: Only one date can be used and LC will use the first date in the span (e.g., for 1998/1999 the date used would be 1998). Thus, if the winter issue is 1998/1999 and spring is 1999, spring is designated as 1999. Winter would be 1999' if issued with a designation of 'winter 1999'.
