Because of the way the serials module works, and because periodical call numbers almost always need a call number analytic designating the part, periodicals have their own special rules & patterns for the construction of call number analytics.
Primary source of date: Masthead.
Other sources: Cover, spine, running date on pages.
Because the WorkFlows Serial Control module allows only uppercase letters in call number analytics and because the Holds module treats differences in capitalization as different volumes, the following analytic prefixes and suffixes are always used in this form and are always capitalized when used for entering periodicals and their dates, whether you use the Serials Module or not.
Example:
| Type | Analytic prefix/suffix | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Issue | ISSUE | ‡zISSUE 49
|
| Number | NO. | ‡zNO. 3
|
| Part | PT. | ‡zPT. 2
|
| Supplement | SUPPL. | ‡zJUN 2006 SUPPL.
|
| Volume | V. | ‡zV. 1

Bi-monthly publications
- If the cover date, date on the spine and the date on the masthead differ, use the larger date span. Most of the magazines that fall into this category have the later month on the cover and the two months on the masthead and spine.
Example
- Taunton's Fine Gardening
- - cover date August, 2006;
- - spine date – July/August 2006 and the
- - masthead date July/August 2006
- - July/August 2006 (Date to be used for this issue)
JAN/FEB 2006;MAY/JUN 2006;JUN/JUL 2006;DEC/JAN 2007

The shelving key of these call numbers may need to be manually altered, because WorkFlows otherwise cannot sort these in date order. For a shelving key of MAG CHICAGO SUM/FALL 2006, that would be changed to the format MAG CHICAGO 200601 for the first issue and MAG CHICAGO 200602 for the second.

Additional notes
- Art in America Annual Guide issue
- (Cover date: Annual Guide 2005/2006; masthead date: August 2005) Issue date would be AUG 2005. In the "Public" note of the copy record you may indicate this is the Annual Guide 2005/2006).
- US News and World Report Best Graduate School issue
- This is the regular weekly issue with a date, not a special issue. In the "Public" note of the copy record you may indicate this is the Best Graduate School issue.
- Moo Cow Fan Club Newsletter
- There is no date on the magazine just an issue number. Therefore, the call number analytic is:
|zISSUE 28
When using the serials module, some periodicals, such as Woman's Day and Family Circle, are difficult to predict. Therefore, it is recommended that each time the magazine is checked in, you should use the option to check in without generated predictions.
