[DCRM-L] Cataloging bound-withs

[Daryl Green]

Yes, we have a similar practice in using the 246 18 for spine title 
followed by |5 for copy specific identification.

As for the OPAC, I think it is really reliant on what cataloguing 
software you are using. We use Millennium here, and I am currently 
working with the head of Bib. Services to try and work out a way that a 
user could click on the hyperlinked classmark and it would take them to 
a list of all bibliographic items found under that classmark. I am also 
just starting to pursue working out a way to implement a hyperlink into 
the 501 field, either in the display constant or in our phrasing: (e.g. 
St Andrews copy at _TypBL.C25AD_ bound with: &c. -- &c.) so that a list 
would be doubly accessible through the OPAC and more fully display the 
nature of the volume. So far we are hitting brick walls most places we 
turn, but there must be a way. Currently, all we can do on the OPAC side 
of things is include an extensive 501 note, listing all items in the 
bound-with (if under ten items) or listing how many, what number the 
bibliographic item is, and the subject and date range (St. Andrews copy 
at TypBL.C25AD: fourteenth item in a volume of 28 pamphlets on tithes 
dated 1625-1722.|5StSaUL).

That is about as far as I have been able to stretch Millennium at the 
moment. I've only had 3 months to tests its limits so far, so with a bit 
more time and persistence, we might be able to work something out. Hope 
this helps!
