Information:
Series statements within the MARC record can be
entered into several different fields and each
series field has particular rules defining how they
are used. In general, series statements are used to
assist patrons in locating items with the same
characters or with other similar characteristics
established by the author and publisher. A series,
then, is defined as a group of individual items
each bearing its own separate title proper with a
collective title or "series" title applied to the
group as a whole. An item can belong to more than
one series.
The 800 Series Statement field is used in direct
conjunction with and never without the 490 field
with a first indicator of 1. The 800 tag is used
when a series statement is entered under the
author's name. The 800 tag will also include the
Library of Congress authorized title of the series
and may include the number assigned to the
particular item.
AACR2 governs the series statement with rule X.6.
The X represents the particular chapter number
depending on what type of media the librarian is
cataloging. All formats except manuscripts (chapter
4) can contain a series statement. The 490
indicates how the series statement appears on the
item.
RDA 2.12 provides guidelines on recording series
statements.
