Description
The contribution deals with the processing of periodical volumes by the Dortmund Online Library System. As an integrated system DOBIS has to consider the divergent requisitions of circulation and cataloguing. For catalogue output it makes available bibliographically correct descriptions of the entire periodical. For circulation it provides information concerning the single periodical volume and its non-bibliographic data, e.g. status and circulation conditions. The bibliographic description and the affiliated volumes are connected in the data base by sorted references. By this means it is possible to show on the screen a list of the volumes belonging to a periodical in inverse chronological order.
