Hi Patricia.

The three tables are often joined using biblionumber and this might get something close to what you want:

SELECT  biblionumber,
       title,
       author,
       copyrightdate
FROM  biblio
LEFT  JOIN  biblioitems  USING  (biblionumber)
LEFT  JOIN  biblio_metadata  USING  (biblionumber)
WHERE  ExtractValue(metadata,  '//datafield[@tag="490"]/subfield[@code="a"]')  
LIKE  '%Irish Office pamphlets%'

Of course you can add "ORDER BY" clause to sort the results or just sort it in your spreadsheet.

I suspect your series titles will be in the 490 tag (MARC21) rather than the 440.

I hope this helps you get to grips with your SQL.

All the best.
Ian

a very novice SQL user so apologies in advance!

I want to get a list of bibnumbers for all records with a value of “Irish 
Office pamphlets” in the 440a tag (series) with title, author and publication 
date so that I can export this list to excel as a csv file.

I have had a look around the Reports Library but got bogged down between the 
various tables biblio, items, marcxml etc.)

Thanks in advance!
Patricia
