Here's the best practice example of a title. (Yes, sometimes records have variation when they come to us. We're working on that.)

This is where you can put the series. And it's hyperlinked!

Union Catalog...

Here's some of the variation we're looking to clean up in the union catalog. :)

Here are some helpful tricks and tips...

1. Please don't put the number of the series in the title, unless that's actually part of the title.

2. Use the 490 field to indicate a series (490a is series title, 490v is number of the series). It's hyperlinked for easier searching, anyway!

3. Yes, we know sometimes there are inconsistencies in various items in a series as they come to us from vendors and from Mitinet/Z-imports. We're trying to improve those as we see them to keep them uniform across the board. :)
