Creating a Publication Pattern

To create a publication pattern for automatic prediction, you can use a publication pattern template, or you can specify the enumeration The designation reflecting the alphabetic or numeric scheme used by the publisher on an item or assigned when the holdings statement is created to identify the individual bibliographic or physical parts and to show the relationship of each unit to the unit as a whole., chronology The date(s) used by the publisher on a serially-issued bibliographic unit to help identify or indicate when it was published. The chronology may reflect the dates of coverage, publication, or printing., frequency, and regularity for the serial title in the serial holdings record. If you are creating the publication pattern by specifying the enumeration, chronology, frequency, and regularity for the serial title, you may also save the publication pattern as a template before you save the publication pattern, so that it may be used to create other publication patterns for your organization. If you already have publication pattern templates, you may test them by checking the prediction preview. If the publication pattern has changed since the templates were created, you can update the template. When you create a new publication pattern for a serial title, you can save it as a template.
