Holdings information

The numerical and chronological designation varies somewhat in format according to the information provided by the contributing library. So far it has been possible to standardize the information only to a very limited extent.

For newspapers the preferred form is: dd/mm/yy.

NB:

11/1966-11/1995 = 1 November 1966 – 30 November 1995, i.e. a complete month is held unless otherwise specified.

Año 85/185 = Año 85, no. 185.
