[DCRM-L] Extent for 2 v. in 1

[Mascaro, Michelle]

In RDA for multipart monographs where the number of bibliographic volumes differs from the number of physical volumes instead of recording the extent as, for example, 8 volumes in 5 you record the extent in terms of physical volumes, and then you make a note about the difference.

For those who are creating RDA compatible DCRM(B) descriptions, how are you handling extent for cases where you have 2 bibliographic volumes in 1 physical volume? Since there is only one physical volume, following DCRM conventions you would record the complete pagination or foliation sequences (and not the LC-PCC PS recommendation of 1 volume (various pagings)).  In these situations do you keep the sequences for each bibliographic volume separate (e.g., XXXII, 67, [1], [38] leaves of plates ; [2], XXXIV, [1], 4-70 pages, [54] leaves of plates) or combine them (e.g., XXXII, 67, [3], XXXIV, [1], 4-70 pages, [92] leaves of plates)?

(N.B. Asking as a cataloger, who is currently cataloging a 2 v. in 1, and not as the RBMS Policy Statements Editor.)
