B5e. Subscription Pattern Example 5

Quarterly, with multiple month designation that does not start with January

Maryland Nurse

A quarterly carrying single months or multiple months that begin with Jan., Apr., July, and Oct. is not a problem. However, a quarterly carrying multiple months which do not begin with Jan., Apr., July, or Oct. is a problem as these alternatives are not currently allowed for in the chronological designations available when setting up publication patterns. One is, therefore, forced to use single months rather than reflecting what is on the piece or is forced to hand update the chronology of each issue.

Maryland Nurse carries the chronological designations of: Feb., March, April -- May, June, July -- Aug., Sept., Oct. -- Nov., Dec., Jan.

Example (lacking voluming numbering) of multiple months generated by Voyager:

Since these months do not match those on the piece and it is easy to forget to update them at check-in, this is probably not a good choice of pattern for this title

Example using a single month publication pattern:

While this pattern does not reflect the multiple months on the piece, at least the beginning month matches

Single month pattern manually updated

The first two issues have been manually updated to reflect the multiple months which appear on the issues
