Lynne,

   It has been a very long time since I dealt with this directly, but I pulled out my old Serials Union List Manual to find the info:

The codes you are asking about seem to be the ‘completeness’ and the ‘acquisition status code’.  (There could also be a third code if applicable: the ‘nonretention code’.)

Zero (0) stands for ‘Information Not Available’ for the completeness.

Five (5) stands for ‘Not currently received’.

 

Refer to the  ANSI Z39.42 standard for more detail.

Subject: [MARC] Serials holdings for Microform

 

I am new to the field of serials cataloging, so please forgive a question that exposes my

ignorance!

 

When looking at records for serials where both print and microform versions are held, I

often see the microform holdings enclosed in square brackets with numbers following

the actual holdings. i.e.:  [Microfilm=42-43,46-49 1981-1982,1985-1986 0,5] in the summary

or 852 field. Can anyone shed some light on what the 0,5 numbers indicate?

 

Thank you.
