Add "Series" information under Title Details

235 votes

If a book is a part of a series, that information (including the book number in the series), should be visible under the Title Details in our library.

I think this would be a great addition. Very helpful when a student is trying to figure out which book comes next in a series they are reading and it helps my classroom TAs know where to re-shelve books that have been returned to the classroom.

The current workaround I use is custom genre. Unfortunately, this isn't helpful when using the phone app.

I add the series to the name of the book and the number in the series to the title of the book. For example: Hunger Games 3 - Mockingjay.

Hi Ashley, this is available in the new Library Page Beta view. If you are on the classic library page, click the link at the top of the page that says "Try out the new Library Page". When you edit a title in that view, you will be able to edit the Series.

When I edit a title in the view (New Library Page). I have not the possibility to edit the Series.

Mr.
I appreciate that this was done, however, it would be nice for BookSource to share the information with users. I have looked for where this function is, and can't seem to find how to add a book to a series. For example, I have 3 books in a series that are all BookSource verified, but only the first 2 have the series information in the appropriate spot, and when I try to edit the third book to add it, there is no place to add a series name to the book's information....Am I missing something??

Thanks for the responses everyone. We are marking this as "Planned" because you are correct, there is no way to edit the series on a title right now. You can only see the series. We will be making this improvement in an upcoming release.
