Does anyone have any suggestions on formatting a serials summary holdings situation for a unique situation that we have at Chicago Public's main library? These statements would be in our own catalog, not OCLC, which is better able to handle complexity. We are moving all our current- 1 year serials to one floor of the library. We are retaining older issues on various subject oriented floors (like 7th floor for literary titles). These older issues don't have a fixed end date. They will go up to the previous year's issues on a rolling basis. For local reasons, we put summary holdings on item records in our catalog.  One librarian has suggested the following format on 2 separate items.

5th Floor Reference

Periodical - Library Holds: Current 1 year

My idea is to put them all on one item for the 5th floor to have fewer summary holding statements:

5th Floor Reference

Periodical - Library Holds: 1953+ ; older issues on 8^th fl.

 

Thanks if anyone has any suggestions,

Linda
