[DCRM-L] Cataloging bound-withs

[Allison Rich]

We also have III and we use a 246 18 for the binder's title, which 
indexes as a title proper in III.

But for the work itself we use a local note with the text (for example)

John Carter Brown Library copy bound as 75th item of 95 in vol. 1 of 4 
vol. set with: Mémoire sur le commerce de la France et de ses colonies / 
de Tolosan, Paris, 1789.

This works to establish its placement in the sequence of the bound with 
so it's much easier to locate it.

The call number is only for the shelf mark and volume of the item.

> 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.
