OKULS 50% RULE
If my library has all the 1998
and 2000 issues of a monthly
periodical, but only numbers 1,2,3,4,
and 10 of 1999, what do I report?
Report only your 1998 and 2000
holdings for that title.
Why?
You do not own 50% of the 1999
Volume.
Keep this in mind:
If the title ends publication or
changes title with number 3 in 2001,
then you would report the volume for
2001.
Why?
Numbers 1-3 would constitute the
entire volume published in 2001 for
that particular title. Hence, if
1998 was vol.35, 1999 vol.36, 2000
v.37, and 2001 v.38, the holdings
statement would read:
v.35,v.37-v.38
1998,2000-2001
(Remember,
50% of 1999 is not owned)
Note: If the title did not cease
with no.3 in 2001, the LHR would be:
v.35,v.37- 1998,2000-
