We can do that :)
In our Millennium the shelf mark is hyperlinked and when you click on 
that link it will take you to all the items within that bound volume as 
long as the volume designation is given.

E789 |b .T33m v. 1 (the shelf mark as it appears in the item record)

will you give you everything in volume 1.

Maye that will help!
If you would like to discuss it off list, please feel free to email me,

Best,
~Allison
