[DCRM-L] Linking multiple books with printed waste

[Guerrero, Jose@CSL]

Howdy folks,

I've come across a several books in one of my institution's collections that have shared provenance and printed waste endpapers that came from the same source.

My question: would it be appropriate to create a linking field that points to the work that the endpapers were taken from? Something like:

700 1_ : |i Container of (work): |a Espinosa, Isidro Felix de, |d 1679-1755. |t Compendio de la vida marabillosa del gloriosissimo padre S. Francisco de Assisi. |5 C-S

The goal would be to make it possible to search books whose printed waste comes from the same work. I want to say "an incomplete copy of this one book exists as the end papers of multiple other books."

Has anyone come across something similar--printed waste from a single text used in bindings for multiple books--and tried to create links/associations between those different books in some way?

Thanks,
Jose
