Different indexes in ACORN present series in different ways.
1.Browsing the SERIES index by series title displays the series title and number in a numerical sort:
GEOGRAPHY RESEARCH PAPER CHICAGO ILL 216
GEOGRAPHY RESEARCH PAPER CHICAGO ILL 217-218

2. Searching the TITLE index displays monographic titles in the series,
in REVERSE chronological order-- most recent first. The serial/set bibliographic
record (if there is one) will also be retrieved at the END of the sort.
Notice that the series title and numbering does not show up using this search
until you choose a record.
