[DCRM-L] Cataloging bound-withs

[Rebecka Persson]

Jessica, 

For individual titles bound together in one or more volumes we add copy
specific notes in 590 fields. Bibliographic records are then linked together
through the item record(s). Multiple copies of the same title in more than
one volume is not uncommon and this is also specified in 590 fields:

Individual serial issues bound with monographic titles in more than one
volume is where it gets a bit more complicated! For that, we add binding
notes for each relevant volume (866 41) to the holdings record:

Hope this helps!

Best wishes,

Dear Colleagues,

How does your institution handle the cataloging of bibliographically 
separate titles bound together in one volume?  I am interested in the 
ways in which you have implemented notes, linked records, or other 
methods in the catalog records in your local ILS, particularly in 
Voyager.  Of particular interest are the ways in which you have dealt 
with copy-specific notes that apply to one title within a bound-with 
rather than to the volume as a whole, and the ways in which you have 
coped with bound-withs containing both serials and monographs.  I would 
also be grateful to those who would be willing to share documentation 
from their institutions.  Feel free to contact me off list.

Best,
