If you have a collection of journals there may be one journal series you do not wish to have in your collection. You could add each year of the journal individually, but when you update your journal collection the new year's issue of this journal would be added to your collection. The better option is to create a collection containing all the issues of that journal and exclude that collection from your "Journal" collection.

In the following instructions we will exclude the undesired "journal" from a collection of Journals.
