Definition

 A series statement for which no series added entry is to be made or for which the series added entry is in a controlled form different from that which appears in the series statement. Field 490 does not serve as a series added entry. When field 490 is used and a series added entry is appropriate, both the series statement (field 490) and a corresponding series added entry (fields 800–830) are recorded in the bibliographic record. Always use 490 field when a series statement contains the volume(s) or date(s) during which the publication was issued as an integral part of the title. See " 4xx Introduction" for more information.

Guidelines
 

For unpublished and manuscript material, do not use field 490 since series statements do not apply under AACR2.

1st Indicator

 Specifies whether series is traced. A value that specifies whether the series has no corresponding added entry (not traced) or has a corresponding added entry in a different form (traced differently) in a series added entry: 8xx Fields (fields 800–830).
0 Series not traced. No series added entry is desired for the series.
490 0 Pelican books
[No 800–830 field is in record.]
1 Series traced differently. The controlled form of entry for the series in the series added entry differs from that in the series statement. With value 1, the appropriate 800–830 field ( 8xx Fields) is included in the bibliographic record to provide the series added entry. If the series is traced differently, enter the series tracing in an 8xx field ( 8xx Fields).

830    0 Department of State publication ; ‡v 7846.

[The series statement contains a numbered series and a subseries and both are to be traced separately.]

[The established form of entry for the series includes a parenthetical qualifier.]

Subfields
‡a Series statement The title proper of the series. Use also for dates or volume numbers preceding or appearing as part of the title, other title information or the statement of responsibility.

Repeat subfield ‡a when a subseries is separated from the main series by the numbering of the main series in subfield ‡v or by the ISSN in subfield ‡x or when a series has a parallel title. Also, enter all parallel titles in separate subfield ‡a's

490 1 Annual census of manufactures = ‡a Recensement des manufactures, ‡x 0315-5587
‡l Library of Congress call number

LC use only. The Library of Congress call number when it is given as part of the series statement. This occurs when an item is issued as part of a series during a period of time and has been classified under the LC call number of that series for that period. For more information, see field 050.

490 1 Bulletin / Engineering Experiment Station ; ‡v no. 50 ‡l (TA7.074)
‡v Volume number/sequential designation The volume number or other sequential designation used in conjunction with the series statement.

490 0 Forschungen zur Geschichte Voralbergs ; ‡v 6 Bd. = der ganzen Reihe 13 Bd.
‡x International Standard Serial Number

The International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) for a series. The ISSN is an agency-assigned data element.

Do not enter the designation ISSN in subfield ‡x.

Note: When an item contains an ISSN for the series, but lacks a series title, the ISSN is recorded in field 500 (General Note).

500 "ISSN 0399-3388."

Printing

 Field 490 prints following the physical description and as an added entry. See " 4xx Introduction" for more information.
 

The print program provides the designation ISSN before the number in printed series statements. The ISSN does not print in the series tracing or added entry.
