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.

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.

Option 1

To add a special issue for a title:

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

Select Add Special Issue

Use the calendar widget to add the issue date, enter a label for the issue and choose an issuance type (e.g. supplement).
Click to Save the issue

The special issue will be added to the list of expected issues ordered by date

Option 2

From the Record Summary for the title, select Serials » Manage subscriptions
Select Manage Issues

Select the last issue on the list (be sure you are displaying all issues)
From the Actions menu, select “Add Following Issue”

Enter the date for the issue
From the interface, check the box for “Ad hoc issue”
Enter a label for the issue
If applicable, change the issue type (e.g. supplement)
Click to save

The new issue will display in the correct row in the sequence of issues.
