Glossary for Cataloguing Periodicals
Most often, bibliographical information will be recorded near the start or near the end of a given issue. You can scan quickly through the reprint and watch for a change in layout or a large masthead to identify where a new issue begins. Issues often have page numbers, but these will often restart in every section.
Dates will normally be in the following format:
民國XX年XX月XX日 where year 1 of 民國 is 1912
Publications may sometimes have separate dates for printing (印刷) and publication (出版), we want the latter
