[MinervaCats] Ranger's Apprentice

I think they need to be treated as two different series.  We could 
distinguish between them by making the series title of the books published 
in Australia

800 1_ Flanagan, John|q(John Anthony).|tRanger's apprentice (Sydney, 
Australia) ;|vbk. 3. 

and the one for the books published in the US 

800 1_ Flanagan, John|q(John Anthony).|tRanger's apprentice (New York) 
;|vbk. 3.

or something like that.

[MinervaCats] Ranger's Apprentice

Hi catalogers,

Yesterday we had a patron asking about books 6&7 of Ranger’s Apprentice. 
We found records for Erak’s Ransom at tml & wit bib # b26022400 and Siege 
of Macindaw at gar, tml, & wit bib # b2602231x From what I can gather 
these are the Random House Australian editions yet to be published in the 
US, book #6 (Siege of Macindaw) comes out here in August while the 7th 
book isn’t published until 2010. However, and here’s where it seems to get 
complicated (at least to me) Erak’s Ransom is a sort of in-between book 
that was almost called book 41/2! So the mark record’s 490 field has 
Erak’s Ransom as book #5 in the series and Siege of Macindaw as book #7. 
So, in the catalog when you search Ranger’s apprentice you have two tilts 
for book #5. Am I the only one confused? Australia has already published 
books 1-9.

Thanks,
Marie
