Hi, How do people enter series and (optional) part numbers?
I hope there is a standard way of entering this information (you need to be in Librarian mode to be able to see the series field), but I've seen several ways: - "The Story of Civilization, Part III" is the example. - "Series name -- number" is in many Canadian microform editions. - "Harry Potter (5)" and similar is another form. The example is simple and does not provide guidance on what to do when there is a comma in the title or whether to add "Part" or stick to a number. And books may be part of several series - the /type/edition supports multiple series - but what delimiter should be used to enter multiple series+parts? I know there are no rules for this (maybe there's an exception for the delimiter), but it sometimes makes it difficult to decipher the meaning from the contents of records.
