Lane Medical Library uses Voyager. We have two principal title indexes.
The regular one includes titles and variants of titles (e.g. 130 245,
246)<br>
The related title index indicates titles of related works (e.g. 773, 780,
830)<br><br>
Similarly, we have a control no. index and related control no.
index. This allows you to find a record or all it's relatives,
great in the case of analytics and components.<br><br>
This works for staff, but ideally public access would have one title
index, with subordinate groups of titles that could be expanded when
someone wants to see all the titles in a series; likewise the individual
titles would file separately. We try to keep the data coherent and lobby
for improved user interface.<br><br>
Great question. Dick<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>
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>

Thanks,<br>
