Supplementary material includes pieces that are not indexes and that are issued in addition to the parent resource. For indexes, see the next set of examples. Sometimes these pieces of supplementary material are clearly identified as such supplements or as material supplementing the basic bibliographic unit.

59: Describing supplements without their own numbering
Supplementary material that is designated as one of the regular issues (e.g., v.10:no.3) should not be recorded in separate 854/864 fields. This type of supplementary material is recorded in the 863 field like any other issue. A note in the subfield |z of field 863 may be used to give the specific location of the supplementary material.

In this example, the reporting library holds v.1-8, 1951-1958; v.9, 1959; v.9 supplement no.1, 1959; v.10-28, 1960-1978:
