I’m very new to Horizon, but are you suggesting a means of Horizon utilizing the 853 fields to establish the prediction patterns? I was told there was no way
to do that, but it would save us a lot of effort, as we just began using the Serials module, and transferred data from another vendor who only provided the MARC records on the transfer.

Here’s how we’ve predicted it using a MARC holdings format:
853 $8 99 $a v. $b no. $u 6 $v r $i (year)$j (month) $w b
853X $8 99 $9 02001 $a 44 $b ½ $i 2013 $j 01/02 $3 20130203
The $8 and $9 fields are unique to our subscription.

Hi Lynn,
If you're setting up a prediction pattern, the frequency is bimonthly. Regarding the second level enumeration caption, the number of issues per year is 6. This field refers to the number of units per next higher level (in this case, the number of issues per
volume, which is 6) rather the total numbered issues in a year (which can vary depending on how the publisher combines enumeration and chronology).
Volume and number are the first and second level enumeration captions, and year and month are the first and second level chronology captions, respectively. You would combine enumeration and chronology when naming each issue, e.g., v.43:no.7/8 (2012:July/Aug.).
I hope this helps. Please clarify if I'm not understanding your question.
