[Texascavers] Texas Caver volume and issue numbers :
Posted for Mimi Jasek: To All Current and Future Editors and Proofreaders of the Texas Caver: We really do have one of the finest caving magazines in the United States, but I would like to try to make you aware of something that needs to be put back on the Contents Page to make it complete, and to correct an error that is being perpetuated. In the past this information has been either there or on the combined Publication Data/Contents Page. There is plenty of room to add a text box above the word Contents with this information, or if it belongs on the Publication Data page, put it there. I would suggest checking with Logan McNatt as to correct placement. The Texas Caver January - March, 2015 Volume 61, Issue 1 I put this in the format that would be for the first issue of 2015. In many past issues, also, rather than Vol and Issue being put on the cover, it was simply the months involved. Correction that needs to be fixed: The Volume number is for a whole year! DO NOT increase this number with the isssue number increasement! Please see the wonderful spread sheet provided by Jerry Atkinson in his 11/13/14 post about the Texas Caver Publication List. If you have never worked on a magazine before, and have never paid attention to this, then this mistake can be understandable. But if we are still sending out issues to libraries and other important cave owner entities, this information matters. For all who may still get their hard copies bound into yearly volumes, this also matters. In 2014, the TC went from Vol 60 all the way to Vol 63, yet the whole year is Volume 60. To many who see this post, this request will seem frivolous and totally unimportant. But as someone who worked on the TC for untold years alongside James Jasek to edit, type, proofread, correct, print, collate, address and mail for any number of editors, besides working in a bookbinding company, this information really matters. Design is completely individual as to the editor of any magazine, but critical publication data is not, and is one of those things - like proper page numbers for the articles within - that should be carried forward from issue to issue for proper continuity.
