Rydberg constant and hydrogen energy series?

In my chemistry class we use the Rydberg constant for hydrogen. Are there constants for other elements as well? Where can I find these values? Also, as far as I know, the Lyman, Balmer, and Paschen series only concern the hydrogen atom. Are there other series for other atoms, because that would mean there are a lot of series… or is it derived from these series?
