One thing that's a little disconcerting is that a couple of the
individual titles are different between the Australian and U.S.
versions.

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
