4D. Numbering Within Series (Series Area)
4D1. Record the numbering of the item within the series in the terms given on the item. Be sure that it is a designation given either by the publisher or creator that applies to the group of items to which the one being cataloged is related. (Record numbers used to designate negatives, plates, etc., in the note area). Use standard abbreviations found in AACR 2, Appendix B and substitute arabic numerals for other numerals or spelled out numbers (see AACR 2, Appendix C). Substitute "no." for the symbol "#."
When the item has a designation other than a number, give the designation as found.
