When written like that, my braille display shows two number signs; isn't that redundant? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shelley L. Rhodes" <guidinggolden@xxxxxxxxx>

Hi Alison

the way I do it and makes sense to me is the following.
Title of book parenthesis series name, book number with number sign close parenthesize 

For example

Alligators (Nature's Children #1)
That is how I do it and makes it easier to look for the books using Bookshares current system.
Plus I know they are part of a series where even in my library system sometimes it can be a guess if they are.

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
