What is the difference between a Series Title
MARC # 440
& Series Statement
MARC # 490
Answers:
Often when we download records the series is in the 490's but that doesn't come up
when we search on opac... we always have to change it to the 440

Well, the biggest difference, the 440 tag will let you use the non-filing
character, while 490 will not.
In some programs the 490 is not as searchable as the 440.
If ever I get a chance, I recommend to use the 440, then you know it is going to
work.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
MARC 440 is A Series statement consisting of a series title alone MARC 490 is a
Series statement for which no series added entry is traced or for which the added
entry is traced in one of the 800-830 fields in a form different from the form
contained in field 490.
Hope that helps:)

The Library of Congress has the ultimate word on MARC fields at
http://www.loc.gov/marc/ The MARC Bibliographic fields are explained at
http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/ecbdhome.html
You can read the entries for 440 (which is now obsolete) at
http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd440.html
and the 490 entry is at
http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd490.html
I never had this straight in my head until I looked it up just now so let me try an
explanation.
The 440 field used to serve as both the series statement and a controlled series
added entry, or "traced". So in automation systems the presence of a 440 field gave
results in series searches without having to add any other field. You used 440 when
the series statement and the "controlled added entry form" were exactly the same.
When the series statement and the "traced entry" (or controlled added
entry) were different you put the statement in 490 and the traced entry in 830.
Under the current rules (effective in 2008) you should no longer use 440 at all.
Instead use 490 for all series statements. The First Indicator now shows whether
the series is traced or not, with a 1 indicating Traced and a 0 being not traced.
All 490 1_ fields (those that have a controlled added entry) also get an 830 field
which is what should be actually searched in a "series search".
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
