Indicators

INDICATORVALUEMEANING
1Form of title indicator
0Not the same as the established form
1No established form
2Same as the established form
2Not defined

This indicator specifies whether the series statement is the same as the access point form. In the COBISS system the access point forms for series are not defined yet, that is why the value of the indicator is always "1" (see examples 6-15).

SUBFIELDS

225a Series title

The title of the series in the form in which it appears on the item being recorded.

225d Parallel series title

The title of the series in another language and/or script relating to the series title appearing in subfield a (see example 14). Repeatable for each additional parallel series title (see example 2).

225e Other title information

Subtitles and other title information that appear on the item subordinate to the series in subfield a or d (see examples 3, 6) or to the name of a part in subfield i. Repeatable for each segment of other title information and for parallel other title information (see example 7).

225f Statement of responsibility

The statement of responsibility for a title appearing in subfield a or d (see examples 4, 11) or for a numbered or named part within the series appearing in subfield h or i. Repeatable for additional statements of responsibility and for parallel statements of responsibility.

225h Number of part

The section or part number of the series entered in subfield a (see examples 9, 13). Repeatable for each subsection or lower level division or for a parallel part number (see example 2).

225i Name of part

The section or part name of the series entered in subfield a (see examples 9, 10, 13). Repeatable for each lower level of subseries or for a parallel subseries name (see examples 2, 5).

225v Volume designation

The number of the item being recorded within the series entered in field 225, and any term used in the item to designate it, which may be in abbreviated form.

225x ISSN of series

The ISSN of the series or subseries. The term ISSN is omitted and should be generated on output (see examples 8, 9, 10, 12, 15).

225z Language of parallel title

Coded information of the language of a parallel title that appears in subfield d. If subfield d is repeated, this subfield is also repeated the languages identified reflecting title order of the parallel titles (see example 2). This subfield always comes last in the field.

NOTES ON FIELD CONTENTS

Data in the field should be entered in the form and sequence as specified in ISBD for Series Area. Subfield z is not an ISBD data element. Punctuation at subfield boundaries should not be entered in the field because it should be generated on output, except for parallel data entered in subfields 225e, f, h and i. The series statement is displayed in round brackets. The correspondence between subfields and ISBD specifications is illustrated below.

Parallel data

Parallel data appearing on the item, i. e. data repeated in another language and/or script, is denoted in ISBD by the use of equals sign followed by a space "= ". The subfield identifier in 225d will generate "= " automatically (see examples 2, 14), and at the start of any other subfield it must be entered explicitly (see examples 5, 7).

Subfield content

This field is used only for the series and subseries belonging to the item whose title is entered in field 200 . If the record is for the item which is a serial, field 225 is used only if that serial belongs to a series (see example 12).

When the title or numbering of a series begins with a term with no filing value, a term followed by a space is given between two signs NSB/NSE "≠". So a phrase (e.g. "series", "vol.", "nr.", etc.) has no filing value in searching (see examples 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15).

Field 225 is repeatable when the item belongs to more than one series (see examples 1, 11).
