This field holds the first series title as it appears on the item.

The series designation is usually given in brackets on the catalogue card or in the book itself.

Authorised forms are inserted — in square brackets "[ ]" — immediately after the form on the item; the form on the item used to be marked with "¬ ¬" (non-filing characters), which is no longer recommended.

Authors and corporate bodies to be supplied are appended with "_/_" (blank, slash, blank).

Each section, sub-series or continuing supplement is preceded by "_:_" (blank, colon, blank).

The volume designation is appended with "_;_" (blank, semicolon, blank).
