The options for serials labels which are different than those listed for monographic labels are:

Variable length field tag from the CHECKIN record

Specify a field group tag for a variable-length field from the checkin record (not item record), e.g., 'c' for call number. If the field does not exist in a particular record, Sierra skips that field and prints the next field.

Variable length field tag from the CHECKIN record (if found); else field tag from the BIBLIOGRAPHIC record

Specify a field group tag for a variable-length field from the checkin record (not item record), e.g., 'c' for call number. In this case, if the field does not exist in a particular checkin record, Sierra looks in its bibliographic record for a field with the same field group tag and prints it, if found. Otherwise, Sierra skips the field and prints the next field.

Copy number field in the CHECKIN record preceded by "c.".

Prints the copy number from the issue box on the checkin card, preceded by "copy #" (generated sequentially for each copy in the issue box).

Cover date in its long form (e.g., "January").

Prints the cover date from the issue box on the checkin card with the month spelled out.

Cover date in its short form (e.g., "Jan").

Prints the cover date from the issue box on the checkin card with the month abbreviated.

Issue, prefixed with "no.".

Prints the second level of enumeration defined for the checkin card box, preceded by the caption. For non-MARC checkin cards, prints the issue number from the issue box on the checkin card, preceded by the characters "no.".

The note within the checkin box

Prints the note from the issue box on the checkin card.

The date received prefixed with "Received on".

Prints the date received from the issue box on the checkin card, preceded by the words "Received on".

Volume, prefixed with "v.".

Prints the highest level of enumeration defined for the checkin card box, preceded by the caption. For non-MARC checkin cards, prints the volume number from the issue box on the checkin card, preceded by the characters "v.".

Volume:issue.

Prints the volume and issue number from the issue box on the checkin card in the format "volume:issue" (e.g., 7:10).

The options for formatting call numbers are the same as for monographic labels, except that the call number can come from the bibliographic record or the checkin record (see the discussion beginning with Format for Call Numbers).

This option is the same as for monographic labels (see the previous discussion of Print the period preceding the Cutter number).
