1.6. Series Area

Organization of the LCRIs on Series:

This general LCRI (1.6) addresses situations in which a series statement should be given in a bibliographic record. LCRI 1.6A1 adds missing information about punctuation within a series statement. LCRI 1.6A2 gives information about sources for the series statement. LCRIs for 1.6B-C, E-H deal with the separate data elements given in a series statement. LCRI 1.6J includes information about some special situations in which more than one series statement is given. The intent is that these LCRIs deal with the series statement only as an area of bibliographic description; however, until a new introductory rule or LCRI is written for AACR2 Chapter 21, LCRI 1.6 and LCRI 1.6H will continue to include some information about the number of series headings appropriate to specific situations.

See AACR2 rule 21.30L and LCRI 21.30L for information about access points for series.
