Note - information in Swedish only, as this note is relevant for Swedish customers only and the terminology will rather create confusion if translated:
Läsordning (kallas även fortsättningsverk eller litterära serier) är en uppgift som inte nödvändigtvis hänger samman med en tryckt serieuppgift. Information om läsordning anges i Libris enbart som anmärkning/fritext, och det är därför inte möjligt att skapa länkade data av själva numreringen. Av denna anledning finns inte numrerad läsordning annat än som anmärkning på manifestationen i Quria. Däremot finns det möjlighet att skapa länkning/relation i Quria mellan de verk som utgör fortsättningsverk/har läsordning. Då används relationstypen Fortsättes av/Fortsätter.
