Hello,

 

I have a question I have been unable to find an answer for. When receiving a journal issue or cataloging a bound journal what is the correct way to catalog?:

 

Jan-Dec

Jan-Feb

 

Or

 

Jan/Dec

Jan/Feb

 

I have heard both ways, but the argument seems to focus on personal preference and I have been unable to find a cataloging rule that supports either. Is there a cataloging rule that says – or / is better than the other?

 

Dusty
