8.29.2.1 A note on manifestation that provides information on a series with which a manifestation is associated.

8.29.3 General rule

8.29.3.1 Make a Note on series statement according to the instructions below. In most cases, notes are optional (designated by “if considered important”). Some notes are required (designated by “always”).

8.29.3.2 Always note the source of information for any element of the Series statement when it is taken from elsewhere than the series title page. If any element has been transposed in the Series statement, note its original position in the manifestation (see Title of series, 8.21.32.1).

Example:
Series title from head of title page; subseries title from endpapers

Example:
Series statement from page 4 of wrapper

Example:
Series number at head of series title

Example:
Series statement transposed from between title and imprint statement on title page

8.29.3.23.Y.Y Still image resources. Always note the source of information for the Series statement (see Series, 8.01.1.25.Y.Y).

Example:
Series title from first plate in series

(Ingest comment: example needs review)

Example:
Series title from artist’s inventory

(Ingest comment: example needs review)

Example:
Series title from artist’s website

(Ingest comment: example needs review)

8.29.3.25.Y.Y If the Series statement appears on both the series title page and the preferred source of information, indicate this in a Note on series statement if considered important (see 8.01.1.3).

8.29.3.3 Note any series information not transcribed in the Series statement if considered important (see 8.01.1.35.Y.Y).

Example:
First in a series of tales from Sörmland

8.29.3.4 If there is series numbering but no series title, always record any numbers or letters that imply a series in a Note on series statement (see Numbering within sequence, 8.27.3.3). When in doubt about whether the numbers or letters imply a series, record them in a Note on manifestation if considered important (see 9.3.SOMETHING.SOMETHING).

8.29.3.5 Give information about a series in which the resource has been issued previously in a Note on manifestation if considered important (see 9.3.34.2).
