about 362 formatted style

362 can be repeated, but must
one is 362 0# (has the first and/or the last issue)
one is 362 1# (do not have the first nor the last issue)

362: this area is recorded in a 362 field in the MARC record, which can represent either area 3 (numbering area) or a note, depending on the coding of the indicators. If it represents area 3, the first indicator is 0, the second blank, and the content is recorded according to the stipulations of 12.3. The presentation of the information in 362 fields representing area 3 is said in MARC to be in “formatted style.”

If neither the first nor the last issue or part is available, the numbering area cannot be used in the record. However, if the cataloger has info about the numbering and/or dates (perhaps from a note in a later issue, or from a source such as Union list of Serials or non-AACR2 records for the serial), AACR2 12.7B11.1 calls for a note recording this info. Confusingly, this note is also recorded in the 362 field, although it does not represent are 3 info. When the 362 field represents a 12.7B11.1 note, the first indicator is coded 1 and the info is given in the cataloger’s own words as succinctly as possible. This is referred to in MACR as an unformatted note.

Description/Instructions
Field 362 contains the beginning and/or ending numbering of an item. It may also include phrases such as "new ser.," either transcribed from the source of cataloging or supplied in brackets, that distinguish different successive numbering sequences for the same publication. Chronological designations used in this field are dates that identify individual issues of the serial. Publication dates are input in field 260. Incomplete dates are not used in this field; uncertain dates/numbers may be given in an unformatted style followed by a question mark.
Field 362 is used both to provide formal statements of the beginning and ending designations of a serial and for informal notes about when a serial or integrating resource began or ceased, according to AACR2 12.7B11.
Field 362 is repeatable only when one of the fields is coded with first indicator value "0" and the other with value "1". When both beginning and ending designations are formatted, or both are unformatted, give them in a single 362 field.
Editing instructions
1. Punctuation:
a) Input a period at the end of the field when information is complete.
362 0# Vol. 1, no. 1 (Apr. 1983)-v. 1, no. 3 (June 1983).
b) In numeric designations that show a span of numbers, replace a hyphen with a forward slash (LCRI 12.3B1):
On piece: no. 1-2
In record: 362 0# No.1/2-
c) In chronological designations showing a span of dates, replace a hyphen with a forward slash (LCRI 12.3C1):
On piece: 2001-2002
In record: 362 0# 2001/2002-
2. When beginning and ending designations are given in separate 362 fields (first indicator values "0" and "1"), input the beginning designation first.
362 1# Began in 1977.
362 0# -1984.
3. Combine beginning and ending designations into one note when both are unformatted (indicator value "1").
362 1# Began in 1969; ceased in 1985.
First indicator

0 Formatted style.
The formatted style is used only for serials when the first and/or last issue is in hand. According to AACR2, the numeric and/or alphabetic, chronological, or other designation must be recorded as it appears on the piece. When first indicator value "0" is used, information contained in field 362 subfield $a may print following the title/statement of responsibility or edition statement (when present) on output.
362 0# Vol. 1, no. 1 (Apr. 1981)-
362 0# 1981-
362 0# 72/1 (Feb. 1972)-
1 Unformatted style.
The unformatted note is used for serials and integrating resources when the first and/or last issue or iteration is not available, but information about when the resource began or ceased is known. When first indicator value "1" is input, information contained in field 362 prints in the note area on output.
362 1# Began in July 1949.
362 1# Began with v. 4, published in 1947.
362 1# Ceased with 2 (1964).
362 1# Began in 1963?
362 1# Ceased publication.
362 1# Began in 2001?
Subfields

$a Dates of publication and/or volume designations.
Dates of publication and volume designations are recorded as given on the serial. When both a numeric designation and a chronological designation are given, the chronological designation is enclosed in parentheses.
362 0# Vol. 1 (Mar. 1980)-
362 0# Vol. 77, núm. 1 (enero-abr. 1981)-
If the serial is complete and the last piece is in hand, the ending designation is input following the beginning designation.
362 0# Vol. 85B, no. 1 (Jan./Feb. 1945)-v. 92, no. 6 (Nov./Dec. 1952).
When the ending designation is given alone, the field begins with a hyphen without "leading" spaces.
362 0# -v. 9.
362 0# -2 (1959).
If more than one form of designation is given on the first and/or last piece, input both designations in subfield $a, separated by a space-equals sign-space ( = ). If incomplete, input one space after the first hyphen.
362 0# Vol. 1, no. 1 (May 1981)-v. 3, no. 1 (May 1983) = no. 1-no. 9.
362 0# Vol. 3, no. 7- = no. 31-
If the system of numbering changes, input succeeding systems in the same subfield $a separated by a space-semicolon-space.
362 0# Oct. 1970-Dec. 1980 ; new ser., v. 1, no. 1 (Jan. 1981)-
362 0# No. 1-no. 6 ; [new ser.], no. 1-
When information about numbering changes is known, but issues are not available, use an unformatted 362 field and/or field 515. The following examples illustrate different versions of the example above based on differences in the available issues.
362 1# Began in Oct. 1970.
362 0# -Dec. 1980 ; new ser., v. 1, no. 1 (Jan. 1981)-
362 0# Oct. 1970-
515 ## Designation restarted as new ser., v. 1, no. 1, in Jan. 1981.
Include in subfield $a the designation of the first issue published on a regular basis. Do not input designations for preview or sample issues. If necessary, include this information in field 515.
362 0# Mar. 1973-
515 ## Preceded by a "preview edition" dated Oct. 1972.
362 0# Vol. 1, no. 1 (May 1982)-
515 ## Introductory number called v. 1, no. 0, issued Mar. 1982.
When cataloging regular-print reprints or photoreproductions, give the designation of the original and not that of the reprint or reproduction.
Previously, a "coverage as of" note was provided for electronic serials issued remotely that are reproductions for which the entire run of the original has not been reproduced. Since providers vary in the range of issues they offer online, this practice was discontinued when LCRI 12.7B10 was deleted in 2003. Now, the beginning dates of the print version, when known, may be given in a 362 1# field. Give this note in addition to the "Description based on note" to provide justification for the fixed field beginning date.
362 1# Print began with: Vol. 3, no. 1 (Jan. 1984).
Do not give a 362 1# "Print began with" note when the beginning date of the print or other original format is not known. Give an unknown fixed field date in this case.
$z Source of information.
Subfield $z is used only with an unformatted note (1st indicator value "1") to cite a published source. The title of the publication is always preceded by the abbreviation "Cf."
362 1# Began with 1962/64. $z Cf. New serial titles.
CONSER Participants should delete $z, if it pertains only to the "Began with" portion of the note, when combining two unformatted 362 fields. LC does not use $z.

Additional instructions
1. A "Description based on" note (field 500) must be present in any AACR2 serial record (except for regular-print reprints) in which there is no 362 field with first indicator "0" giving the designation of the first issue.
362 1# Began in 1978.
500 ## Description based on: 1983.
362 0# -v. 8, no. 10 (Oct. 1983).
500 ## Description based on: Vol. 2, no. 1 (Jan. 1975).
2. When there is more than one designation omitted from the title and statement of responsibility area and both cannot be represented in field 362 or 500, the first is given as the designation and the other is covered by a note, field 515 (Cf. LCRI 12.3).
Title on piece: Review of agriculture in 1982 and outlook for 1983.
245 00 Review of agriculture in … and outlook for …
