Nope, no need to distinguish series if the numbering is the same. 

I'll go ahead and fix up the heading for the author in the 100 and 800 
fields, there are a lot of variations there.

Hi Marie,

Thanks for catching this. Our Erak's Ransom had the wrong number. 
Overlayed it with a bib from Australia and I'm pretty sure it is supposed 
to be #7. 
Our copy is out, but I will check it when it is returned. 

I think "The sorcerer in the north is #5. Our copy has been sitting on the 
hold shelf at hob since May 11. Hob, can you please pass it on?

I don't see a need to distinguish between the U.S. and Australian edition 
with different series titles, but maybe I'm missing something? 
Time for desk duty, but I can change the 440 to 490 and add the 800 field 
later ini the afternoon.

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
