Notes on Field Contents

The highest level of enumeration and chronology data should be recorded for multipart and serial units, e.g., earliest and latest date or lowest and highest volume held, or both, with the range of holdings being broken only by the recording of gaps.

Data are recorded and displayed in a positive sense; that is, emphasizing that which is held rather than

that which is not.

When both are present, enumeration and chronology data should be recorded and displayed together, enumeration first, with the corresponding chronology enclosed in parentheses. If the preferred form of display is not possible, enumeration and chronology may be displayed separately, with or without parentheses.

Subfield $w Gap indicator

a Gap break

b Non-gap break
