[DCRM-L] Cataloging bound-withs

For items that have a binder's title, which many of our bound-withs do, I 
have used a 246 1 |iUO binder's title: |a [title] |n [no. of the item 
within the volume]

Some of our bound-withs have more than one volume so then it would be v. 1 
no. 10 or whatever. And some of them are within a greater "series", e.g. 
Pamphlets on the World War: Belgium [v.1-2], Pamphlets on the War: England 
[v.1-4], and do on. You can end up using the subfield i, a, b, f, n, or p. 
Then the call number of the piece would be (not a real call number): 
D501.P34 1915 v. 1 no. 1 and so on.

This isn't actually a routine codified anywhere in our dept manual but it 
is logical. You can get to all the titles by either call number or 
binder's title, which is better than nothing. We use III, and when 
catalogers don't do this for binder's titles, we end up with a similar
display problem.

Each "child" record is then given a number that corresponds to its placement in the bound volume: no. 2, no.3, etc.

We have a similar problem here at BYU and I was wondering how your efforts to resolve the problem were working out. We use a Sirsi product and I have spoken with our computer support person but I am trying to remain cautious in hoping that the issue could actually be resolved.

All of our bound-with notes go into a 501 field, which displays on the OPAC as "With:" If this is a copy specific note (as most bound-withs are), our standard phrasing is something like: "St Andrews copy at ___ bound with:" then followed by basic bibliographic information for the other items in the volume (formatted: first name surname. brief title [subfield a]. place of publication: abbreviated name, date in arabic numbers -- repeat) and then subfield 5 denoting copy specific information. We decided to include the initial phrasing to avoid problems when a duplicate copy pops up, and we usually limit listing other items in a volume to 9 or under. If there are over ten items in a volume, our practices are, again, much like Cornell's, i.e. "St Andrews copy at ___: third item in a volume of twelve (type: "pamphlet", "sermons", etc.), dated 1610-1633.|5StSaUL"

The 563 note is shared between all items within the volume, and so can be copy and pasted, along with any corresponding 655 headings, from one bib record to the next.

> Again, much like Cornell, the first item in a volume has an item/holdings record created with unique barcoding and accession numbers, and the rest of the items are linked to this record. The OPAC display for each item works out well, however there is a large problem with searching items by class mark. Searching either in the OPAC or in Millennium (our cataloguing software) brings up only the first item in the volume attached to that class mark. In  Millennium this is not a huge deal, as the linked bibliographic records are noted at the foot of the window. However, in the OPAC, there is no real way to create a tangible link between the items aside from the 501 note. A problem that I am currently working on here with the head of cataloguing within the library.

If the different titles were clearly issued together, the "With:" note goes in the bib record; if they were bound together subsequent to publication, the "With:" note is treated as a copy-specific note on the holdings record. (We do use Voyager.)

We add the number at the end of the call number for each title, e.g. E441.C37 no.1 for the first title in the volume, E441.C37 no.2 for the second title in the volume, etc. This helps the patron find the particular item s/he is looking for in the volume.

For all subsequent titles in that volume, the barcode number goes in an 876 field (beginning with $p) in the holdings record. All of the titles in the volume share the same barcode number.
