<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Hi, Deborah and
all--</blockquote><br><br>
Our local online catalog (we have a Voyager system) does title indexing
for the 773 field, with results that are occasionally useful but usually
just annoying. In our system, though, if you do an OPAC title search on
the title in the 773 field, the last record in the search results list is
the one for the "parent" item, i.e. for the book. <br><br>
Hope this helps, and best regards from up north (where it got down to 40
degrees last night!),<br><br>

</font><br>
Is field 773 title-indexed in your opac? <br><br>
<br><br>
We have a number of printed books in our collections that are heavily
extra-illustrated and/or have numerous manuscripts tipped or bound in.
Our plan is to create analytic records for these added materials.
However, because of title indexing in the 773, it is nearly impossible to
find the record for the actual book. <br><br>
<br><br>
I'm interested in knowing whether anyone else has this problem, or
doesn't have it because you've found a way around it.<br><br>
<br><br>
Thanks,<br><br>
Deborah<br><br>
