CONSER Publication Cycle Map WizardCONSER Publication Cycle Map WizardWhen you create or modify a serial control record, the Load Pub Pattern window may open for bibliographic records that have 891 CONSER entries (if selected in wizard or helper properties to display). SirsiDynix Symphony analyzes the subfields in the 891 entry and maps chronology patterns. For the subfield w, SirsiDynix Symphony will match values in this subfield to a CONSER Publication Cycle Map policy. A publication cycle map exists for each frequency code of subfield w, except k.
For information about the CONSER Publication Cycle Map policies delivered with SirsiDynix Symphony, see Delivered Serial Control Policy Values
There is no equivalent mapping for $wk in SirsiDynix Symphony. When a bibliographic record contains a $wk, this indicates that the publication is published more frequently than daily. If an incoming bibliographic record contains a $wk, it is suggested that you do the following.
| • | In the Create Serial Control wizard, create a control record with a daily publication pattern, and create daily predictions. |
| • | In the Modify a Serial Control wizard, create single issues (or perhaps multiple issues) for the same days. |
From the List Policies window, you can create, display, modify, copy, or remove the CONSER Publication Cycle Map policies. Click Close to exit the wizard.
Attributes
The CONSER Publication Cycle Map policy displays the following attributes.
| • | Name |
| • | Description |
| • | Frequency Code |
| • | Publication Cycle |
This attribute uniquely identifies the CONSER Publication Cycle Map policy. This name is ten characters or less, and may not include spaces or punctuation, except for dash (-), underscore (_), and dollar sign ($). Additionally, the pipe character (|) may not be used.
This attribute provides more information about the policy and its use by the library. The description may be up to 60 characters in length. Although the Description attribute may contain spaces and punctuation, the pipe character (|) cannot be used.
Select the frequency code that works with this publication cycle type from the list. Use the Frequency Policy helper (Frequency Wizard) to create new frequency codes or modify existing frequency codes, if needed.
To define the publication cycle, click the Publication cycle gadget.
A calendar displays the current publication cycle. A description of the publication cycle appears below the calendar.
Verify the issue’s publication statement to determine the publication cycle: daily, weekly, monthly, or annually. For instance, a semimonthly and a bimonthly are both monthly cycles. An issue that is published weekly, except for June through August, is a weekly cycle.
To modify the publication cycle or begin defining the title’s publication pattern, click one of the following publication cycle types. See the publication cycle type help topics for more information.
| • | Daily |
| • | Weekly |
| • | Monthly |
| • | Annually |
Enter exceptions to the publication cycles using the Omit Issues By helper.
When finished defining the publication pattern, click OK to save your changes, or click Cancel to exit the policy without saving your changes.
