Definition |
For serials, field 362 contains beginning and/or ending alphabetic, numeric, and/or chronological designations of the issues or parts. Chronological designations used in this field are dates that identify individual issues of a serial. In general, publication dates are input in field 260 or field 264. Do not use field 362 for incomplete serial dates. Record uncertain dates/numbers in an unformatted note followed by a question mark. For integrating resources, field 362 contains beginning and/or ending publication dates when the first or last iteration of the resource is not available. Record publication dates in field 260 or field 264 when the first or last iteration is available. For integrating resources, use field 362 for incomplete dates and only as an unformatted note. Dates in field 362 may be identical to the information in the fixed field element Dates. See Dates for more information. Repeat field 362 only when one of the fields has a 1st indicator value of 0 and the other has a 1st indicator value of 1. When both beginning and ending designations are formatted, or both are unformatted, record them in a single 362 field. For information on punctuation, see the Punctuation section below. |
| ǂa Dates of publication and/or sequential designation |
The sequential designation and/or dates of publication. The sequential designation may consist of edition number, issue number, volume number, series of volume numbers, or other sequential designations according to the usage of the publisher. The date may consist of the month and/or day and year; month or season and year; or year alone, depending upon the frequency of publication and the usage of the publisher. Sequential designators and dates are recorded as given on the item. When both a numeric designation and a chronological designation are given, the chronological designation is enclosed in parentheses. The ending designation is recorded following the beginning designation. Cataloging instructions prescribe four spaces after the hyphen of an open numbering scheme. However, the system displays only one space at the end of a subfield. Therefore, enter only one space after a hyphen that is the final character of subfield ǂa.

Follow these guidelines for entering dates for integrating resources:
When no date information is present, omit field 260 subfield ǂc or field 264 and record the approximate date in field 362 subfield ǂa, with the 1st indicator value 1.
When only a single copyright date is present, omit field 260 subfield ǂc or field 264 and record the approximate beginning date in field 362 subfield ǂa, with the 1st indicator value 1. When a range of copyright dates is present, suggesting that the first date may be the beginning date, omit field 260 subfield ǂc or field 264 and record the probable beginning date in field 362 subfield ǂa, with the 1st indicator value 1.
