[DCRM-L] Recording collection information for individual books

[Katy E. Rawdon]

Hello all,

I would be interested in hearing how your institutions note in the
bibliographic record that a book is part of a larger collection. For our
collections that are tied together by provenance, we generally use a 700
with subfield e "former owner." However, we have some collections of books
that are tied together as a collection for other reasons (subject,
collecting area, etc.), that we would like to be able to intellectually tie
together via the MARC record.

On a related note, we also have books that are part of a larger archival
collection, but that we are cataloging separately for various reasons. I'd
also be interested in hearing how you all record that larger collection in
your records (if you do).

Best,
Katy

The Special Collections Research Center
(SCRC)<http://library.temple.edu/collections/scrc> is
the principal repository for and steward of the Libraries’ rare books,
manuscripts, archives and University records. Our reading room is located
on the ground floor of Paley Library and is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30
p.m., Monday through Friday.

Due to the unique, rare, valuable and often fragile nature of the items in
our collection, and because they are stored in several locations in the
library as well as the offsite library depository, the use of many of these
materials requires scheduling an appointment ahead of time.  Special
handling is also required, so we ask that you familiarize yourself with our
policies <http://library.temple.edu/collections/scrc/research> designed to
provide you the greatest possible access to the materials while protecting
and preserving them for future use.

Send inquiries to our general
e-mail<http://library.temple.edu/collections/scrc/ask>,
or call us at (215) 204-8257.  You may also write us at:  SCRC, Paley
Library (017-00), 1210 Polett Walk, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA
19122.  Please include your name and complete contact information, as well
as your specific question.
