Required field
The starting/ending year of a series symbol.
Four alphanumeric characters (may include question marks.)
$a Series start year
$b Series end year
The
series start and end years refer to
the first and last years documents in a series are known to be issued
(which
are not necessarily the same years that the first and last sessions or
meetings
are held).
Do
not add the series end year (subfield $b)
unless you are certain that a series symbol is no longer used–for
instance,
when a series symbol is continued by another series symbol.
Examples:
970 $a 1969 $b 1971
970 $a 1985
$b 1997
970 $a 2000
970 $a 2004
