====== Adding Special Issues ======

You may need to create a special issue of a serial title if you receive an issue that is not generated as part of the basic prediction pattern.  

<note>Adding a special issue as the LAST issue usually disrupts receiving of future issues.  When adding a special issue, make sure it is not the LAST on the current list of issues.  If necessary, generate some additional predicted issues BEFORE adding the special issue.</note>

===== Option 1 =====

To add a special issue for a title:

  * From the title's record, select Serials >> Manage Subscriptions
  * Select Manage Issues
