LC-PCC policy statements for last chronological designation of sequence

Prerecording

Prerecording

LC/PCC Core.

Recording

Paragraph

LC/PCC practice: Apply the instruction.

Recording an unstructured description

LC/PCC practice: Record the last chronological designation of sequence as a Manifestation: note on numbering of sequence for the last issue or part of the sequence.

LC/PCC practice: Transcribe captions as found. If numbering includes both issue number and date, put parentheses around the date.

LC/PCC practice: If the chronological designation includes dates not of the Gregorian or Julian calendar, add the corresponding dates of the Gregorian or Julian calendar if considered important for identification or selection. Supply the value in square brackets. If dates have been recorded using the Hebrew script, the Gregorian or Julian calendar date may be added in both the non-Latin and romanized field, or only the romanized field.

LC/PCC practice: If the last issue or part of a sequence has no chronological designation and previous issues or parts define a chronological designation pattern for the sequence, supply a chronological designation for the last issue or part based on the pattern. Supply the value in square brackets.

LC/PCC practice: If the identification of the manifestation is based on an issue or part other than the last of a sequence and a chronological designation for last issue or part of sequence can be readily ascertained, supply a chronological designation for last issue or part of sequence.

For instructions on recording this element when a chronological designation of last issue or part of sequence appears on the source of information in more than one language or script, see Manifestation: numbering within sequence. Parallel language or script option.

LC/PCC practice: For diachronic works, if other numbering is not present or known, give the value of the ending Manifestation: date of publication or Manifestation: copyright date.

LC/PCC practice: For rare materials, provide a Manifestation: note on numbering of sequence for the last issue or part of the sequence only if the last issue is not available (see DCRM(S) 3A1, 3B).

Data provenance

Option

LC/PCC practice: Do not apply the option.

Option

LC/PCC practice: Apply this option if 1) the metadata has been taken from a source other than the manifestation being described and there is a requirement to record that source OR 2) if directed to do so by other LC/PCC documentation.
