I don't have a solution but I was just wondering, Ryan, what the local note says when all you have is two leaves. "Incomplete copy; all but leaves A2 and A3 wanting"?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 6, 2010 at 11:06 AM, Ann Myers <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:amyers@lib.siu.edu">amyers@lib.siu.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">We have just started
investigating the same issue here. Most of our single leaves are manuscripts with
the added challenge of not being able to identify the work from which they
originated, so cataloging those as single leaves makes the most sense. However,
we have also cataloged a few Caxton leaves as single leaves – we were
uncomfortable with giving the impression that we have the whole book when all
we have is a leaf, especially knowing how few patrons read the local notes in
our records. For examples, see OCLC #</span> <span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">317410156
and #</span> <span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">438949187. I don’t know if this
is the best approach, but it was the best solution we came up with at the time.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone approached the cataloging of an individual leaf
(or leaves) in a manner in which the physical description reflects only what
you have (vs. DCRM(B) 5B1.1)? The question is prompted by a loan request in
which the requester did not realize that our "copy" was merely two
leaves of a publication. This information is stated in a local note, but one of
our public services librarians feels that this is not a very user friendly way
of saying we have only two leaves. </p>
