6B1. Transcribe each series title exactly as to wording, order, and spelling, but not necessarily as to punctuation and capitalization. Give accentuation and other diacritical marks that are present in the chief source of information (see also 1B and AACR 2, 1988 revision, rules 12.1B2-12.1B7).

6B1. Example

6B2. If different forms of the title of the series (other than parallel titles) appear, choose the title given in the first of the prescribed sources for the series area as the title proper of the series. Give the other form(s) in the note area if of value in identifying the item.

If the title of the series does not appear in the first of the prescribed sources of information and different forms appear elsewhere in the publication, choose the title given in the other prescribed sources in the order of preference for the sources (e.g., if different forms appear in the second and third sources, choose the one appearing in the second source).
