in pre-searching, as it turns out that the ACRL/RBMS Guidelines Regarding Security and Theft in Special Collections say, “In the case of books, use the catalog record to describe copy-specific characteristics (e.g., binding, marks of previous ownership, defects)
and bibliographic information that helps to distinguish among editions, issues, and states. Maintain complete acquisitions records, including antiquarian catalog descriptions. Create machine-readable records for local public access and international bibliographic
databases. Participate in bibliographic projects that record detailed bibliographic descriptions.” So there’s that.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

good theft prevention/theft retrieval practice. However, I’ve recently been asked to either stop recording these, or to record the number privately, in part due to concerns that it identifies a limited run copy.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
