490 SERIES STATEMENT
 
 

Record the series statement in field 490 $a as it appears on the publication except for capitalization and punctuation, even if it is identical to the authority-controlled Series Title.
[Prior to March 2009, the series statement was recorded in field 490 only when it differed from the authority-controlled Series Title. If it was identical to the authority-controlled Series Title, it was recorded in field 440].

In case of multilingual series statements, record parallel language titles in subfield $a after the punctuation [space] = [space].

Statements of responsibility in series statements are also recorded in subfield $a after the punctuation [space] = [space].

Record the ISSN for the series in subfield $x. If the ISSN is recorded in subfield $x, it is not necessary to record it also in field 022.

Record the volume number in subfield $v.

Do not precede subfields $x and $v by punctuation. Punctuation preceding $x and $v will be generated automatically in bibliographic displays.

In current UNBIS practice, a period is not placed at the end of field 490.

When a series statement is recorded in field 490, the authority-controlled Series Title should always be added in field 830, even if the Series Title is identical to the series statement. If an authority record for the Series Title does not exist, a new authority record should be created.

If no series statement appears on a publication, but it is known to belong to a series (for example, an ISSN for a series appears on the publication although the series title does not appear, or the title is identified from a source outside the item as belonging to a series), record the series title between square brackets in tag 490 and attach the authorized Series Title in tag 830.

Examples:

490 1_ $a Discussion papers on sustainable forest management = Materialy po ustoichivomu upravleniiu lesnogo sektora $x 1020-9697 $v no. 1
830 _0 $a Discussion papers on sustainable forest management $v no. 1

490 1_ $a [UNCTAD series on trade negotiations and commercial diplomacy] $x 1816-5540
