A customer has reported that the automatic linking of series authority records
to series fields in the bib record (440 and 830) fails due to the space added
before the semicolon when series numbering is present.  Prescribed punctuation
for series fields requires a space before the semicolon so this space should be
ignored.

Example: 830 Series Added Entry – Uniform title
Alcuin Club collections
links to authority record

Alcuin club collections ;
does not link to authority record

Background: ISBD punctuation, which is used in the most recent cataloguing
standard (RDA) and in the  preceding standard (AACR2), requires a space
semicolon at the end of a series statement if it is followed by series
numbering (cf.
http://www.ifla.org/files/assets/cataloguing/isbd/isbd-cons_2007-en.pdf , RDA
0.3.3 and AACR2 1.6 A1).
