The RDA definition of series is: "A group of separate resources related to one another by the fact that each resource bears, in addition to its own title proper, a collective title applying to the group as a whole. The individual items may or may not be numbered." Note that the definition applies to both serials and multipart monographs. [RDA has a second definition for series that refers to a separately numbered sequence of volumes or issues with a series or serial (e.g. 1st series, 2nd series, etc.). This document applies only to resources in the first category]
Series issued as serials are sometimes called monographic series; as serials, monographic series are intended to be issued indefinitely. Generally items in a monographic series are single part monographs issued on an irregular basis.* For printed materials the bibliographic record for the monographic series as a whole is entered in the MARC21 Serials format with 008 Type of Serial:m.
*In some cases an item within the series may be a serial (a periodical within a series) or a multipart monograph; the term "monographic series" is technically incorrect but is used here to distinguish between series bibliographic records created using the MARC 21 serials format and series bibliographic records for multiparts using the MARC 21 books format.
A series may also be issued as a multipart monograph (mpm), i.e. with an intended conclusion. A multipart monograph series should be entered in the MARC 21 Books format.
Series may be classed-together (all items have the same call number; call numbers are distinguished by the volume number) or classed separately (each item in the series has a different call number). A series may be analyzed (separate bibliographic records created for the each distinct item in the series) or not. A series may be analyzed whether it is classed-together or classed separately; a classed separately series must be analyzed.
If a series is on standing order, a bibliographic record in Serials or Books format is always created. Series bibliographic records contain standard MARC fields with appropriate content designation and sufficient information for positive identification.
A bibliographic record generally is not created for a monographic series that is not received on standing order, although the cataloger may use that option for some classed-together situations. For mpm series not received on standing order, a bibliographic record is always created if the set is classed-together; a bibliographic record is not created if the set is classed-separately.
Bibliographic records for analyzed monographic series are used primarily as a hook to the Voyager Acquisitions line item and to ensure that acquisitions staff use the established form of the series and follow local classification decisions. The minimal encoding level is 7. The bibliographic record is suppressed from public display if the series is classed separately; the bibliographic record is usually suppressed if the series is classed-together unless the set cannot be fully analyzed. If the decision is to display the record to the public, the record may follow the same minimal standard used for classed-separately records if no cataloging copy is available; however, 008 fields must be upgraded to standard level in order to export the records to the utilities. (Non-roman units cataloging in OCLC may choose to create their preliminary records on the utility as well.)
Bibliographic records for classed-separately multipart series on standing order are suppressed from public display and may remain at E/L 7. Bibliographic records for classed-together multiparts are always displayed and are always upgraded to full or core-level.
Because the series bibliographic record is used by acquisitions staff to determine the form of series used on analytics and to determine local classification practice, the first volume received for any new standing order series should be routed to the appropriate cataloging unit for priority cataloging. The cataloging unit is responsible for deciding whether the series will be classed together or classed separately, for creating or updating a series authority record for the series if necessary, and updating the bibliographic receipt records where necessary (e.g., for title changes or entering local classification decisions, or in some cases to full-level standard).
For detailed acquisitions procedures, see:
Preliminary Bib. Records: Monographic Series & Multipart Monographs on Standing Order
Upon receipt of the first available volume of the series, the bibliographic record for the series should be reviewed and updated as a priority by cataloging staff; this will ensure that acquisitions staff processing later volumes will be able to find the record and verify that the volume in hand belongs to the series. Due to Voyager profile settings, it may simplify workflow to restrict cataloging of the first available volume of a series to staff authorized to import records from LCDB or OCLC.
At SML, if a preliminary record comes out of the backlog with ‡x sso in 852, cataloging staff must update the series bibliographic record according to the procedures described for classed separately or classed-together. In general, YUL catalogers should consult with their library's acquisitions staff if it is not clear which series bibliographic record is to be updated. Always consult with acquisitions staff before creating a new series bibliographic record if a previously established series standing order has a title change; the new series record must be linked to the correct purchase order.
The classification and analysis decision is ultimately the cataloger's. Generally, if an SAR is found, the decision documented on the SAR is followed, but following the SAR decision is not required. For example, if the SAR documents a classed-together analyzed decision and it is known that the library intends to own only selected items, the decision may be to class separately, especially in the case of older materials. It is also not required that all YUL libraries follow the same classification/analysis decision, although the default decision is to use the same decision across YUL.
Search OCLC for a bibliographic record for the series and a SAR.
If a bibliographic record is found, overlay the preliminary series record.
If a bibliographic record is not found in OCLC, update the preliminary series record on Voyager. Since RDA will drive future cataloging for the foreseeable future, update the record to RDA form if necessary. If an OCLC record is found, a fully cataloged record does not have to be recataloged to RDA form. A non-standard record should be updated to RDA, so it may be easier to simply update the preliminary record without searching OCLC. If a SAR is found, import it into Orbis if local modifications are necessary. Optionally, import the SAR even if no local modifications are necessary.
If a SAR has already been created by another NACO library, review it in case it needs to be updated based on the item in hand. If the SAR has not been validated as RDA, update the SAR in OCLC. If the SAR update changes the 1xx field, update the bibliographic record as well. If no SAR has been created, follow the guidelines in Yale Policies for NACO Series Authority Records to determine whether or not to create a SAR in OCLC.
If the preliminary series bibliographic record must be updated on Voyager, the cataloger should follow this checklist:
Leader: Encoding level should be 7. Bibliographic level: s (Serial) unless the series is a multipart.
008: Only the dates, place of publication, type of serial (m), and the language need to be verified. The first date should be determined by the earliest volume received, the second date would be 9999.
Variable fields:
Add 022 if available.
Verify that 245 ‡a ‡n ‡p ‡c have been transcribed accurately from the chief source. Transcription should follow RDA and the Policy Statements, so enter initial article (update the filing indicator if necessary) and diacritics and follow the default or alternate rules for capitalization. The preferred source for the series is the series title page. In its absence, the order of priority is the analytic title page, the cover, and the colophon.
Determine if a 130 field needs to be assigned based on the SAR (whether the SAR was previously created and updated to RDA, or whether a new RDA SAR was made). For title main entry multipart monographs or serials, remember that a 130 is required if the title proper conflicts with the title proper of either a monograph or a serial in Orbis.
Trace variant forms of the series title found on the analytic title page, the cover, or elsewhere, and any other variant forms that would serve to ensure access to the record (e.g. written out form for an ampersand or other symbol). Variant forms should be traced on the bibliographic record even though they may be accounted for in the SAR 4xxs, since the bibliographic record will be searched on the Title index rather than the Staff Title index in the Cataloging Module. Note that current practice for 246 is to use first indicator 1 and second indicator blank.
Verify that 264 ‡a-‡b have been transcribed accurately from the chief source following RDA and the Policy Statements: do not supply abbreviations, but transcribe abbreviations if they are on the resource; transcribe everything pertaining to the publisher statement, and all elements of the publisher hierarchy. The ‡c does not need to be supplied.
The 300 field may be left incomplete; remember that volumes should be spelled-out, not abbreviated.
Although not common, check for series within the series, and trace as 490/830 as appropriate. Remember that volume numbers are not recorded in 4xx/8xx on bibliographic records for the series collective title.
Assuming the cataloger has or will create a SAR, it is not necessary to include a 362 1 Began with field, 336-338, or a 588 DBO [Description based on] note since the information will be recorded in the SAR. If fields 336-338 are already in the record, leave them in.
Add 710s if considered to be important, e.g. for an issuing body; verify that the form used for 710s is established. If the 710 conflicts with RDA form, update the bibliographic record, and in OCLC update the authority record. If the 710 not established, follows RDA and the Policy Statements; whether to create a new NAR is left to the cataloger to decide.
If a title change has occurred for a monographic series (ongoing, no determined end anticipated), create a new record and update the record for the earlier title if it is in Orbis. As with serials, major title changes for monographic series must be handled as successive entry, but be sure to verify that the change is really major. Always check with acquisitions staff before creating a new bibliographic record to ensure that it will be linked to the appropriate purchase order. Do not make a new record for multipart monograph title changes; add a 246 to the bibliographic record.
Otherwise, the bibliographic description for the earlier title may be left as is, including the encoding level. If the SAR for the earlier title is updated at a later time, update the bibliographic record also where appropriate (e.g., notes on changes in numbering, use repeating 264 for publisher changes).
Exception
Where cataloging is done on OCLC (i.e., non-roman), search OCLC for a series bibliographic record. If a record is found export it into Orbis. If no record is found, create an E/L 7 record for the monographic series on OCLC and export it into Orbis, but do not add it to OCLC.
The cataloger should verify that the series/serial bibliographic record has been suppressed and that the series on the analytic bibliographic record is consistent with the preferred title. The serial template will provide the 336-338 variable fields. Use the monograph template for multipart monographs.

| 264 | 1 | ‡a Münster ; ‡a New York : ‡b Waxmann | |

The cataloger should update the MFHD to indicate the classification decision and the correct form (including caption) for volume numbering. The numbering should correspond to the numbering used in the SAR. Use the following pattern for entering MFHD data if the series is classed separately. Volume holdings for classed-separately series are not recorded in MFHD 866.
| 852 | 8 | 1 | ‡b <location code> ‡k Suppressed ‡h sso ‡x cs <caption><space><no.>- |
Example:
|
852 |
8 | 1 | ‡b art ‡k Suppressed ‡h sso ‡x cs Bd. 2 |
The item record should have been assigned to the catalog record for the analyzed volume. The ENUM should reflect the analyzed title rather than the series title. (Blank if the analytic is a single part item; a volume number is entered in ENUM only if the analytic itself is a multipart monograph.)
The analytic bibliographic record for the volume(s) in hand should be updated to full level following established cataloging procedures.
Most of the examples reflect pre-RDA practice and may not follow current guidelines for 852 notation.

Search OCLC for a series bibliographic record. If a bibliographic record is found, overlay the preliminary record in Orbis. If no record is found, update the bibliographic record following the guidelines above for classed-separately series. (For non-roman cataloging, follow the exception guidelines for classed-separately series bibliographic records)
If a SAR is found, import it into Orbis and add a 090 to indicate local classification practice. Review the record in case it needs to be updated based on the item in hand. If no SAR exists, create one on OCLC following procedures outlined in Yale Policies for NACO Series Authority Records. After the record has been contributed to the national file, import it into Voyager and add a 090 to indicate local classification practice.
Based on recent decisions made by CCC & PIC in March 2005, the earlier decision (2004) to display bibliographic records for classed-together analyzed series has been modified. REVISED PROCEDURE (2005): If all items in the series can be analyzed, the cover record should be suppressed. However, if only partial analysis is applicable because some items lack a distinctive title, the cover record should not be suppressed. The default setting for series preliminary bibliographic records is Suppressed, but the cataloger should be careful to verify that the correct setting has been assigned.

Cataloger should update the MFHD to indicate the series call number and the analysis decision.
Volume holdings for classed-together analyzed sets are recorded in MFHD 866. The cataloger will need to record the volume in hand in MFHD 866 of the series bibliographic record, since the acquisitions preliminary record does not record 866 until the classification decision has been made by the cataloger. Use the following pattern; the 852 first indicator should be updated to reflect the type of call number used, as in the Old Yale example. If the bibliographic record is suppressed, the MFHD should also be suppressed. If the series is partially analyzed, the ‡k field should not be included, since neither the bibliographic record nor the MFHD would be suppressed.

Note: the series was fully analyzed through 1998; serial analytics from 1999- .
This procedure is sometimes used if the individual series volumes have distinctive titles but are of pamphlet length. It is employed primarily by SML but is used by other cataloging units such as the Medical Library and for some publications in CSSSI. In the SML workflow, the analytics are created by the Monograph Support Team at encoding level 7.
Formerly the analytic records were not exported to the utilities, but, post-reclamation, since they are exported for MARS processing, they will be exported to OCLC automatically. The bibliographic record for the series as a whole is suppressed & is not exported to MARS (or OCLC).
Analysis of a series with distinctive titles is a cataloger decision; analysis is not required, even at E/L 7. Catalogers should take into consideration that many of the pamphlet-length series issues are now available electronically in full-text format and may be searched by author, title, and series. If the item in hand or the found cataloging copy indicates that the title is also available in electronic form, and if the library provides access to the electronic version, the cataloger should consider whether even E/L 7 analysis is necessary, even if cataloging copy for the analytics of the print version is available.
Historical note: serial analytics were at one time called provisional analytics; the procedure was sometimes referred to as "prov anal," i.e. provisional analysis. Most series bibliographic and SAR records created prior to documentation are annotated "prov anal."
Search LCDB for a bibliographic record for the series and a SAR.
If a bibliographic record is found, overlay the preliminary series record.
If a bibliographic record is not found in LCDB, search OCLC for a series bibliographic record. If a bibliographic record is found, overlay the preliminary record in Orbis. If no record is found, update the bibliographic records following the E/L 7 guidelines above for classed-separately series. Since the record will be suppressed, it will not be exported to MARS or the utilities.
If a SAR is found, import it into Orbis and add a 090 to indicate local classification practice. If no SAR exists in LCDB, do not create one.
EXCEPTION: if cataloging is done on OCLC (non-roman), search OCLC for a series bibliographic record. If a bibliographic record is found, derive it and export it into Orbis. If no record is found, create an E/L 7 record for the monographic series and export it into Orbis.
Based on decisions made by CCC & PIC in March 2005, the decision to display bibliographic records for classed-together analyzed series has been modified. If all items in the series can be analyzed, the cover record should be suppressed. However, if only partial analysis is applicable because some items lack a distinctive title, the cover record should not be suppressed. The default setting for series preliminary bibliographic records is Suppressed, but the cataloger should be careful to verify that the correct setting has been assigned.

A series with volumes lacking distinctive titles is not analyzed. Analysis of a series with distinctive titles is a cataloger decision; analysis is not required, even at E/L 7.
General procedures:
Search OCLC for a series bibliographic record. If a bibliographic record is found, overlay the preliminary record in Orbis. If no record is found, update the bibliographic record to RDA. Follow the E/L 7 standard used for classed-separately bibliographic series. Since the record will be exported to the OCLC, in addition update all mandatory serial 008 fields to reflect the bibliographic record, and include 336-338, 362 and 588s for DBO and Latest issue consulted. Upgrade and export of previously cataloged series bibliographic records is optional.
The bibliographic record for a classed-together (not-analyzed) series is not suppressed.
Search OCLC for a SAR. If a SAR is found, import it into Orbis and add a 090 and 644 to indicate local classification practice and that the series is not analyzed. If no SAR exists in OCLC, do not create one.
The bibliographic record should NOT be suppressed. Since the default setting for series preliminary bibliographic records is Suppressed, the cataloger should be careful to uncheck the Suppress from OPAC radio button under the System Tab in both the bibliographic and MFHD records, and delete the ‡k Suppressed field from the MFHD.

If the decision is to analyze, the cataloger should verify that the item record is linked to the MFHD of the analytic bibliographic record, re-linking from the series bibliographic record if necessary. If the item record is linked to the analytic bibliographic record, the series designation is not entered in the item record's ENUM/CHRON in Voyager Item Records for Serials (and Multiparts).
If the decision is to analyze, but one or more items in the series are unanalyzable (lack distinctive title), then all item records must be associated with the series MFHD, and the series designation must be entered in the item records' ENUM/CHRON fields.
If the decision is not to analyze, the series designation must be entered in the item record's ENUM/CHRON. In that case, since the default acquisitions decision is to analyze classed-separately,
In general, do not use jour item types for unanalyzed series volumes; use circ, nocirc, reference, etc. as appropriate.
Do not send suppressed series cover records for authority processing; they will be returned unsuppressed.
Do not export suppressed series cover records to OCLC; Voyager will not send any suppressed records to the utilities
Export unsuppressed series cover records (unanalyzed series, partially analyzed series) for authority processing (the records will be exported to OCLC automatically when returned from MARS processing)
Export E/L 7 analytic bibliographic records for authority processing (the records will be exported to OCLC automatically when returned from MARS processing)
A SAR is made if the decision is to analyze. If the decision is not to analyze, a SAR is not made; if a SAR is found in Orbis or the resource file, the SAR should be updated locally to indicate that the multipart is not analyzed. For policies and procedures for creating and updating SARs, refer to Yale Policies for NACO Series Authority Records.
The cataloger should record the classification and analysis decisions in the MFHD 852 ‡x as well as the SAR. Classed-together is implied by the presence of a call number and is not explicitly notated.
If the cataloger decision is to class-together:
Use the following pattern for the MFHD:
| 852 | 0 | 1 | ‡b <location code> ‡h <class number> ‡i <rest of call number> ‡x anlyz |
| 866 | 4 | 1 | ‡8 0 ‡a <volume holdings> |
If the cataloger decision is to class separately:
Use the following pattern for the multipart (series) title MFHD:
| 852 | 8 | 1 | ‡b <location code> ‡k Suppressed ‡h sso ‡x cs <caption><space><no.>- |
If the decision is to analyze, the cataloger should verify that the item record is linked to the MFHD of the analytic bibliographic record, re-linking from the cover record if necessary. If the item record is linked to the analytic bibliographic record, the volume designation for the collection is not entered in the item record's ENUM.
If the decision is to analyze, but one or more items in the set are unanalyzable (e.g., 505 [Bd. 1. without special title]), then all item records must be associated with the cover record MFHD, and the multipart volume designation must be entered in the item records' ENUM field. Reminder: captions should now be included with the volume designation, e.g. Bd.1; v.1; t.1; etc.
If the decision is not to analyze, the multipart volume designation must be entered in the item record's ENUM (with volume captions).
All multipart classed-together cover and their analytic records are cataloged at E/L blank (OCLC I) and are exported to MARS and the utilities.
Multipart classed-separately cover records are not exported to MARS or the utilities; analytic records for classed-separately multiparts are exported to MARS and the utilities.
