Hi Tessa, I'm sure you'll get other replies with good insights. I just wanted to say that I've been there! I think, in the moment, that now that I figured it out it's so plainly obvious that I will remember how to do it forever more... and then promptly forget it and have to start from zero the next time I have to do the thing.
One tip: you create a serials record exactly like you would a book, but in order to get the right 008 fields to appear you make BLvl and 's'. I think you might have to save and reload the record for the new fields to appear. Once you've got the bones in place, you can save a serials template for future new additions to your collection.
Hope this helps,
Tricia
