Hi,
I'm the cataloguer at the Far North District Libraries and am struggling
with the new series rules. Can anyone advise how the 490 and 8XX are to
work?
My understanding is that the 490 tag is not searchable. Therefore, an
8XX tag is used. Would this normally be an 800 with the author's name
followed by the series title? When is an 830 tag used?
What are you doing about a series that currently has 440 tag and new
items come in for the same series? Are you changing all the 440s for
that series to 490 and adding the appropriate 8XX tag?
Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
