How do I interpret periodicals and serial titles holding data in Webcat?

If you are requesting periodicals articles or requesting serial titles, check volume and publication date information carefully.

The volume information string has two parts: volumes and (issues) and <beginning and ending years of coverage>.

Here is an example of how to read holdings information:
13,14(1-8,10-11),15-26,27(),34-45,46(1-9)<1970-2003>

This library has volumes published between 1970 and 2003 with some missing volumes and issues. If this is a monthly publication, the library does nothave v.14 no.9 and v.14 no.12. The empty parenthesis after volumenumber 27 indicates their v. 27 has several missing issues. If no parenthesis appears after volume numbers, the library has completeset of those volumes. This library has complete set of volume 13, 15-26, and 34-45.
