060100. Series title
Definition: The Series title is the title of a comprehensive publication of which the resource is a part; includes the ISSN if known.
Rule: Record the Series title in a series statement.
Transcribe the titles of all the series of which the resource is a part. If there is an inaccuracy in the Series title, transcribe it as it appears and add a note for the corrected version. If the Series title is grammatically linked to the title of the item being cataloged, include it in the Title proper, and transcribe it in a series statement. Consider providing a controlled series added entry if required for access.
