Hi,
As bookshare evolves, I'd like to see series as a separate field on the
database.

Hi everyone,

I'd like to learn which sort of format you all most like to see series
info written in.  As I input data for all the pq books, I'm filling in a
lot
of series titles and book numbers.   I usually do it a certain way, but I
thought I would ask what everyone prefers.

I have a couple of questions for you all, and you may write me on or off
list with your answers.  allisonh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Keep in mind that I'm not looking to set up any sort of Bookshare
requirement for writing series titles.  This is just for my own personal
knowledge as I work on the pq books.  If someone already has a way they
like
to do it, he or she can definitely still do so.

QUESTIONS:
1. Which of the below do you like best?
a. Title (Series Name, then the word series, #1).
b. Title (Series name Book #1).

2. Do you prefer some punctuation after the book title in order to separate
it from the series info?

3. Do you like when the number sign (#) is inserted before the book number?

I imagine that I'll likely get a lot of differing opinions, but I'll try to
go with what's most popular.  Remember, this is just for the books whose
titles I happen to edit, not something that will apply to all titles.

I look forward to your input.

Best,
Allison
