Remove series from title

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

This looks as if the series is part of the title.

I think it is part of the title though. WorldCat, libraries, etc. have it that way. The LOC has it that way.

And GR doesn't do it that way.

I also think it is part of the title in this case.

Just like Sandman in the example above. GR removes the series from the title, according to the manual.

series





Series should always be created separately. (See here for more information.) Currently, the series display is not complete across the website, and therefore series information may be repeated in the title field; this is optional. Again, please do not remove series data from the title field if it has already been added!







Place the series information in parentheses after the title and any subtitle or transliteration. If the book is numbered in the series, place the number after the series name with the # symbol in front of it. (Use the same conventions for series numbering in titles as is used in the series object.) Previous conventions used a comma after the series name and before the number; this is also acceptable. If formatted in this fashion, the parenthetical part of the title will be replaced by the actual series object's name and number on the book page as a link to the series.





Examples of series mirrored in titles:


Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Harry Potter #1)


Among the Living (PsyCop #1)







An exception to this is when the series name is the primary or only title. In this case, the title may be formatted with series name and number as the title (the number may be written out to match the title as shown on the edition) and any additional title text as the subtitle.





Examples of books with the series as the primary title:


My Brain Hurts, Volume One


Gun Smith Cats Vol. 3


Methods of Modern Mathematical Physics, Vol. 1: Functional Analysis


Inside Microsoft SQL Server 2008: T-SQL Programming


The Best American Short Stories 2005

Amazons II


Emphasis above mine. The series in this case is not the primary or only title.
