[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Series indexing and facet implications

[Elizabeth Longwell]

Bryan,

Thanks for the clarification of the additional series tags - I was
breaking it down to the most simplistic, but it wouldn't be good to
leave out the other 8xx possibilities :)

I'll have to talk to our cataloging committee about the conversion of
440s to 490/830 pairs. In the past it seemed a daunting project, but
the script may make it more manageable.
