Adjusting Copy

Once an authority record for the series is found in our catalog, copy should be adjusted based on a comparison of the book in hand and the information found in the local authority record. The following chart summarizes the possibilities:

Series Tagging

Tag	Indicator	Notes
440	_* (0-9 for non-filing character)	Series traced; series statement title identical in form to authorized heading.
490	0_	Series not traced; series statement title may or may not be identical to authorized heading. In particular, the authorized heading may have a qualifier in parentheses after the title which is not used in the catalog record.
490	1_	Series traced; series statement title varies from authorized heading. In such cases, there will always be a reciprocal 8xx (series added entry), corresponding to the authorized heading.
830	_0	Series title added entry
800	0_ (forename) 1_ (surname)	Series name-title added entry (also known as personal author series)
810	1_ (geographic) 2_ (non-geographic)	Series added entry under corporate body main entry.
811	2_	Series added entry under conference main entry.
