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. Series statements assist library users 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 830 Series Statement field is most often used
in direct conjunction with the 490 field with a first
indicator of 1. The 830 tag will include the Library
of Congress authorized title of the series and may
include the number assigned to the particular item.
When the series has been assigned an International
Standard Serial Number (ISSN), it may also be
included in the 830 tag.
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 in the
prescribed source of information for the item (see
X.0B2 in AACR2).
RDA 2.12 provides guidelines on recording series
statments.
