If there is a method, a script, or a setting to tweek in order for prediction patterns to be pre-set, I would appreciate it if you could send me the information.
We don’t have that many left to do, but it would save us time and effort.
And as an aside, how does a vendor get away saying their product is MARC compliant, when it only uses part of the MARC record? Sirsi/Dynix is not the only
vendor I have spoken too who has informed me that their product can not use the 853 fields for prediction.

Yes, that's what I was refering to. We are a new Evergreen site and I must say, serials is NOT user friendly.....

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.

To all
Our network recently moved to a new platform. Our old vendor was III and after the kinks worked out, entering serials data was a breeze. This software (Evergreen) needs MFHD captions and patterns. I have a journal (American Libraries) that I'm trying to enter and for the life of me I cannot get any code to make it do what I want it to do. This publishes 6 times per year, Jan/Feb. etc. It's numbering is 1/2, 3/4 etc. so even though it is only 6 hard copies, there are 12 issues.
Does anyone know about captioning and patterning that you would be willing to share? I've found several training manuals (Yale has a nice one), but I haven't found an example that works.
Any advice would be appreciated. I know it's Friday - ignore it til Monday!
Thanks
