Field 440 (Series Statement/Added Entry–Title) has been made obsolete in the MARC 21 Bibliographic Format in Fall 2008. For details, see MARBI’s Proposal.

Current Practice

• Use a combination of 490 and 830 to trace the series title.
• The 1st indicator of 490 is redefined. Now, using 1 means “series traced in 8XX field.”
• Put the traced form of series title in the 830 field.
• Note 490 does NOT have p or n subfields, but v or x subfields can be used.
• When there are additional series titles (e.g. parallel title in different language), add 830 field for each.

Note. If the title originally has articles, such as “the”, keep it in the 490 field, but do not enter it in the 830 field. OCLC Bib Formats & standards has made a note for this: “Current practice is to enter the title without articles and use 2nd indicator value 0.”
