I know that it implies many changes in the database and
in the code but retreiving Series Titles from the
database can be useful.

A serie title is generally used many times so that can
be helpful for using lists in a GUI.

I hope you understand my english.

    I'm not sure whether I understand this correctly. Retrieving
    datasets by the series title is a matter of using something
    like:

    getref :T3:~titleword

    However, if you have something in mind like the getjo
    command to retrieve periodical names, then indeed there is
    no command to do this yet. Implementing a getti (or
    whatever) command is straightforward and does not require
    any changes to the database structure. I can add this to my
    todo list.

    Yes I have in mind a getti command but only for serie title.
    It can help for example when an user want too add a serie of
    comic book using a form. He can then choose the serie from a
    list.

    I talk about database changes to prevent redundancy. Maybe
    it's not necessary.

    Ok, now I understand. You'd like the series title to be
    treated like a journal title. This is possible, but it would
    indeed require a change in the database structure. While I'm
    at it, wouldn't it make sense to treat book titles all the
    same? I'm thinking about articles in proceedings or chapters
    in books.

    I don't think retriving book chapters is really interesting
    due to the large amount of book in a database. It may be
    used to avoid different titles for an unique book
