+    (description
+     "The BibLaTeX package provides @code{shortseries} and @code{shortjournal}
+field, but the default styles don't use them.  It also provides a mechanism to
+print the equivalence between short forms of fields and long
+fields (@code{\\printbiblist}), but this mechanism does not allow to mix
+between different type of short fields, for example, between short forms of
+journal title and short forms of series titles.
+
+This package provides a solution to these two problems.  If
+a @code{shortjournal} field is defined, it prints it instead of the
+@code{\\journal} field.  If a @code{shortseries} field is defined, it prints
+it instead of the @code{\\series} field.  It provides
+a @code{\\printbibshortfields} command to print a list of the sort forms of
+the fields.  This list also includes the claves defined with the
+@code{biblatex-claves} package.")
