Please Correct all the Series Information, so it is Consistent

Hi LJ
I think there is some confusion about the correct naming convention because when you go to 'Add a book' to an author's page the naming convention ASKS you for the comma in between the title, and the series information.
So, for instance, book one SHOULD look like this: Servant of the Crown (Heir to the Crown, #1)
So, looks like you'll have to enter the comma for all of them...

This was updated in the Librarian Manual several years ago, but looks like it wasn't updated in the Add a Book section you mentioned.

Thanks, Sandra
At least now they're all consistent!
Personally, I prefer WITH the comma, but I do not know how the author prefers it yet, it is a question I'd have to ask him...presumably, the search function works the same, no matter which way they're input?

Only one title had commas in series info so since you asked for consistency I removed them, even though current Librarian's Manual, while indicating no commas in series information, does not require removal or prohibit their use.

**PLEASE** ensure that all the series information is consistent with the newer naming conventions for serieses, for consistency sake!! (I mean adding the book title name, the comma after the series name, then # sign, then numeral of book title)
Some do not follow the (Heir to the Crown, #1, 2, 2.5, 3, 4...) naming convention, and they should!
Please correct these inconsistencies.
THANK YOU!!
Cheers,
Dee
