Hi Tim,
Mary has it right, and for what it's worth, I tried it out myself, and I
made a correct pattern for New England Journal of Medicine, the result
of which is this:
["2","0","8","1","a","v.","b","no.","u","var","v","r","i","(year)","j","(month)","k","(day)","w","w","x","01,07"]
That's what shows up in the "Pattern code" column after using the wizard
(it's just a funky way to represent the equivalent of an 853 tag). If
you find you can't get the wizard to produce quite that, you can just
paste that into the "Pattern code" box directly without using the wizard.
Also, in order for the system to make correct predictions, you must tell
it all about the *last* issue you have *before* you want the predictions
to start. So if you want the system to start predicting at volume 362,
no. 1, in Jan 7, 2010, then your last issue before that is volume 361,
no. 27, Dec 31, 2009.
That means your manually entered starter issue should have this holding
code ["4","1","8","1","a","361","b","27","i",2009,"j",12,"k",31] and a
publication date of 12/31/2009 (this is correct for the actual
real-world 12/31/2009 issue of NEJM).
Hope this helps!

Hi Tim,
To create more than one volume a year, you need to set it up on the Calendar
page in the Pattern Codes wizard.
In the Evergreen community serials doc, it describes it like this:
3. Page 2: Calendar
1. To use months, seasons, or dates in your caption, check the box adjacent
to Use calendar changes?
2. Identify the point in the year at which the highest level enumeration
caption changes.
3. In the Type drop down menu, select the points during the year at which
you want the calendar to restart.
4. In the Point drop down menu, select the specific time at which you would
like to change the calendar
5. To add another calendar change, click Add Calendar Change. There are no
limits on the number of calendar changes that you can add.
For example, Time changes volume numbers in January and July.
6. When you have finished the calendar changes, click Next.
It looks like this:
I don't know what the solution is about differing counts of issues for each
volume, though.
I hope this helps,
Mary

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Prediction Patterns
I'm trying to get a pattern to work for the New England Journal of Medicine
and can't seem to do it. The journal is published weekly on one volume for
the first 6 months of the year and then on a different volume on the second
have of the year. For instance, the 2010 issues are:
volume 362 (no. 1-25) covering issues January-June 2010
volume 363 (no. 1-27) covering issues July-Deceomber 2010
volume 364 (no. 1-26) covering issues January-June 2011
I"m just having trouble getting that represented in the prediction pattern.
I'm using the Alternate Serials View.
