FIELD DEFINITION AND SCOPE
Series statement consisting of a series title alone.
Used when the series statement and the controlled added entry form of the series title
are the same. Field 440 is both a series statement and a series added entry. When a 440
field is present, a corresponding 830 field is not used since it would duplicate the 440
field.
Since series statements do not include medium designators (subfield $h), when
a series added entry requires a medium designator, field 490 is used for the series
statement with a corresponding 8XX field for the series added entry.

descriptive cataloging rules. Field 440 does not end with a mark of punctuation unless
the field ends with an abbreviation, an initial/letter, or other data that ends with a
mark of punctuation.
Spacing - No spaces are used in initialisms or personal name initials/letters that appear as part
of the series title.

Temporary Data - If any portion of the volume number/sequential designation (subfield $v)
information is subject to change (e.g., when the record for a multipart item is not yet
complete), angle brackets (<...>) are customarily used to record that part
of the volume number/sequential designation information which is subject to change. As
parts are added, the information is updated.
