I think it's a great idea, if you have the time and energy to undertake it.
How do you know what books are in series, or do you want people to tell
you?-
How about the Bobbsey Twins and Five Little Peppers series? I think there are
some books of those in the collection. And Howard Fast's
Immigrant series (I don't know the title of the series -- I wrote down the
books and their order in the series but I don't have it here with me); the
Bertrice Small series that starts with Skye O'Malley --I don't know what you'd
call that, either; and Ivan Doig's 3-book series -- I think it's called the
Montana series. And the Lemony Snicket series. And, judging by posts, there's
a Star Trek series. And Heidi (there were 3 books in that series;);
The Dark Is Rising (we have all of those, both individually and in one volume)
and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe --but I don't know the
title of the series. I think we have all of those books. Supposedly some were
in bad shape but the one I saw wasn't. Frank Baum's Oz books are
a series, of which The Wizard of Oz is one.
How do you define series? Books that follow a theme or different adventures of
the same people? Would he Sherlock Holmes mysteries be
considered a series?
I was looking for a book I'd fixed that was part of a series and found several
others --the book I was looking for and found was part of the Mitford
series, by Jan Karon. And I found an Otherland series and a Rocky Mountain
Memories series.
Good luck.

in a particular series and told which ones are in the collection generates a
list of the books we have. I'm wondering if lists of series would help
complement the BookShare and Rui's lists. My hope is that gaps in our
collection would become more obvious and just the general order of a
series would be much more obvious.
