I provided an 'almost' solution because you haven't given enough information to provide a finished solution. Well then, lets get precise.

1) The lookup name of your custom column containing the manually-entered information is #abbrseries?
2) Your #abbrseries column is a series-type column containing the text and the series index you wish unconditionally to put into the title?
3) What do you want to happen if there is nothing in #abbrseries for a book?
4) What do you want to happen if #abbrseries_index is zero for a book?
5) What do you want to happen if #abbrseries_index has a decimal point in it?
6) Do you want to see this extended title on the library view, or only use it in a plugboard?
7) Are there any other special cases?
