  1. Area 6: SeriesAACR2 1.6, 2.6 MARC field 490 (or 440) Required if on piece Prescribed sources of info: Series title page, Title page, cover, anywhere else Ending punctuation: Never has ending punctuation

  2. MARC 490 (or 440) • Indicators: • 1st • 0 = Series not traced • 1 = Series traced differently • I will talk more about tracing series in module three! • 2nd: none Subfields • $a Series statement • $v Volume number • $x ISSN number

  3. What’s a series? • Well, what is a series anyway? • AACR2 defines it as: • “A group of separate items related to one another by the fact that each item bears, in addition to its own title proper, a collective title applying to the group as a whole. The individual items may or may not be numbered.” • So sometimes books are part of series.

  4. It’s fairly easy for academic subjects • But for a book to be a part of a bibliographic series, there must be a statement on the book that indicates that it’s part of a series. • This is easy to determine for academic works.

  5. Another Example • The book itself has its own title. • Here’s the series title. This series has volume numbering.

  6. Trickier for fiction • For fiction, you may be used to hearing the word “series” referred to a set of books that all belong together. • If I said I was looking for the Harry Potter series, you’d know what I was talking about. • However, in cataloging, in order for a book to be bibliographically part of a series, it must have the series statement on it. • So many works of fiction are really not part of bibliographic series although we talk about them that way.

  7. Example: Harry Potter is not a series • The Harry Potter books are not part of a bibliographic series, because there is no series statement printed on the book. • The only thing that comes close is the little “year 3” that is printed on the spine, but this is not a series statement! “Year 3”

  8. Fiction that is part of a series Title of series Title of book The “Goosebumps” series is a good example of a true bibliographic series. There is a separate series statement on the book – and on the left you can see a list of other titles in the series. Sometimes you have to be careful not to interpret the series title as the title of the book!

  9. LCRIs in 1.6 • There are many HUGE LC rule interpretations of AACR2 1.6, which explain what is considered a series, what to do in particular circumstances, etc. • You do not need to read these, but just be aware of them when you do run across a strange situation. This is a source that you can check to find answers.

  10. Series statement MARC 490 $a Required if on piece NO ending punctuation!

  11. Transcribing the series • For now, I want you to put the series in the 490 field, first indicator “0”; 2nd indicator is blank. • We are going to get into series title access more in the next module. • Add all initial articles. • Capitalize based on rules for the title proper, For English capitalize the first word of the title and proper nouns • 490 0_ $a The science series • 490 0_ $a Current advances in Swedish biochemistry

  12. Parallel series titles 1.6C • If a series title is printed in two or more languages, you can add both titles separated with an equals sign [space] = [space] and the second title goes in its own $a • 490 0_ $a Jeux visuels = $a Visual games • If there are more than three parallel series statements, See LCRI 1.6C

  13. Other title information (subtitles) 1.6D • Sometimes series statements will have subtitles. • AACR2 1.6D says to add them only if it helps identify the series. • I rarely, rarely see subtitles ever transcribed in practice. • They are almost always left off the record.

  14. Statements of responsibility 1.6E • Sometimes series are put out by a particular organization. • You only need to add a statement of responsibility if it is important for identification purposes. LCRI 1.6E1 says to use catalogers judgment. • Add a statement of responsibility when the series is really, really generic like “Bulletin” or “Papers” and it is put out by a corporate body. • Never transcribe series editors. • You put them right behind the title proper preceded by a slash [space] / [space]

  15. Example • 490 0_ $a Research monograph / American Therapeutic Recreation Association • Notice how it goes in the $a right behind the series title!

  16. International standard serial number (ISSN) MARC 490 $x Preceded by a comma 1.6F

  17. ISSNs • An international standard serial number is just like an ISBN for books. It is a number that identifies the series as a whole. • It is an eight digit number separated by a dash • 1234-5678 • Per AACR2 1.6F, you add ISSNs directly after the title proper (or statement of responsibility). • Per LCRI 1.6F, you add the ISSN number only • It goes in a $x preceded by a comma • 490 0_ $a Western Canada series report, $x 0317-3127

  18. ISSNs • Not all books that are part of series will have ISSN numbers printed on them. • Basically, if you see it, add it. If you don’t see it, don’t worry about it. • It seems like in practice although you’re supposed to add them, many catalogers don’t - even when it’s printed on the piece.

  19. Volume numbers MARC 490 $v Preceded by a semicolon No ending punctuation!

  20. Volume numbers 1.6G • Sometime books in a series are given a number. • This goes into a $v and is preceded by a semicolon. • You must transcribe what you see here, so if it is qualified by something like a word or a symbol you have to add it as you see it. • 490 0_ $a The state series ; $v #45 • EXCEPT If the number is qualified by a word that in the abbreviations list, you have to abbreviate it. Common ones: • Volume is abbreviated “v.” • Part is abbreviated “pt.” • Number is abbreviated “no.” • 490 0_ $a Advances in food science ; $v no. 56

  21. Volume number cont. • If the number is not qualified by a word or symbol, don’t add one • 490 0_ $a Advances in food science ; $v 56 • There’s a BIG LCRI at l.6G

  22. Examples • Series numbers are fairly common. You will see them often. • 490 0_ $a Lecture notes in mathematics ; $v 1542

  23. Example • 490 0_ $a Goosebumps ; $v #39 • Notice here I added the “#”, because that is exactly what is on the book. • If it had said “number” I would have used “no.”

  24. Practice test! • Go do the practice test for Module 2, Area 6: Series
