Rules for Marking by Volume Number or Year

RULES FOR MARKING BY VOLUME NUMBER MARK

Single volumes: mark by volume number standing alone, NOT preceded by v. 1

Volumes issued in parts

Part number follows volume number 1:3

. If parts are subdivided, a series of colons separates the parts 1:3:2

When volume is complete and parts are bound together, the volume is marked with
the volume number only, NOT with volume number and parts; i.e., 1 NOT 1:1-3

Please note: When parts of volumes are analyzed, the call number in the analytic record
holdings should indicate only the vol. number (NOT vol. & part) unless parts are to
be bound separately. If several vols. are bound together, call no. of the analytic
should indicate only the vol. of which it is a part.

2 or more volumes issued together with one title page, or 2 or more volumes issued
separately and bound together by Yale. 1-2

Serials issued in series:

1st series: mark by volume number alone 1

2d series: series number is given in Roman numerals, followed by a period and
the number of the volume. II.1

3d and later series: same III.1, etc.

Serials which have both a volume numbering and a whole numbering: if pieces
are marked separately. 6(104)

Please note: For publications which are complete in one physical volume, volume
number is omitted from the call number. This could be one which ceased with
volume 1 or one for which several volumes were issued and bound in 1 volume.

RULES FOR MARKING BY YEAR MARK

Volume covering one calendar year; e.g., 1957 1957

Volume covering parts of two years; e.g., July 1957-June 1958 1957/58

Volume covering two complete years; e.g., 1957 and 1958, issued with one title
page, or 2 volumes, each covering a complete year, e.g., one covering 1957 and
one covering 1958, bound together by Yale 1957-58

Volume covering 2 split years, e.g., 1956/57 and 1957/58, issued with one title page,
or 2 volumes each covering a split year, e.g., one covering 1956/57 and one 1957/58,
bound together by Yale 1956-58
