Series were extracted from the Library of Congress's National Union Catalog and MARC files, Bowker's Books in Print and Out-of-Print files, PTLA series listings, publisher materials, the ABPR database, and Irregular Series and Annuals. Not as useful for my purposes, as what I'm considering as a series is really more of an imprint in some cases, and the Bowker definition is much more limited.
