6G. Numbering within series

Contents:

6G1. General rule

6G1.1.

If series numbering is present, transcribe it as the last element in the series statement. If the numbering does not appear in this order in the source, transpose it as needed. Provide details of the transposition in a note. However, if the numbering is grammatically inseparable from the series title, see 6B2.

(Modern standard drama / edited by Epes Sargent ... ; no. XXXII)

Note: Series from t.p.; series numbering precedes series title

6G1.2.

Transcribe the numbering as it appears in the publication. Do not use any abbreviations not present in the source and do not convert roman or spelled-out numerals to arabic.

(... ; num. II)

(... ; volume six)

6G2.

If series numbering appears without a series title, transcribe the numbering in a note. Provide any additional information about the series (e.g., as found in reference sources) in a note, if considered important.

Note: Number "6" appears at head of t.p.; issued as part of the American tract series; see BAL

(Comment: Making a note on the number is required; providing the additional information from BAL is optional.)

In case of doubt as to whether a number appearing in the publication is series numbering, transcribe the numbering in a note.

6G3. Numbering relating to parallel series titles

LC Rare Book Team Guidelines: Cataloger's judgement.

6G3.1.

If there are parallel series titles (see 6C) and the series numbering also appears in more than one language or script, transcribe each number after the series title to which it relates (following any other title information or any statement of responsibility associated with the title).

(O.B.E.M.A ; number 11 = O.B.E.M.A. ; Nummer 11)

6G3.2.

If the series numbering appears only once, transcribe it after the series title to which it relates. However, if the numbering relates to all, more than one, or none of the series titles, transcribe it at the end of the series statement.

(Série bilingue = Bilingual series ; 5)

6G3.3.

If any parallel series titles have been omitted from the transcription, also omit their associated numbers. Transcribe the omitted number(s) in a note, if considered important.
