In the Innovative Sierra/Millennium systems, Jan-Dec displays in the checkin box differently from Jan/Dec.

 

One will display as Jan/Dec 217 and one as Jan 2017 – Dec 2017, and it differs when there are day elemnts as well.

 

I actually don’t remember the formats, I use trial and error.  [Yet another example of my good-enough approach to the rules].

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?
