[DCRM-L] Cataloging of single leaves

[Deborah J. Leslie]

This is an interesting question. We do the same, even though sometimes
we only have a title page (legacy of Halliwell-Phillipps' scrapbooking).
And even though that particular note, as with all notes on
imperfections, is always the first note, I also am uncomfortable.

 

What would alternatives be? Catalog the single leaf(ves) as themselves,
with links to the larger work? Maybe the latter as uniform title?

Subject: [DCRM-L] Cataloging of single leaves

 

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. 

 

Thanks,

Ryan
