Multiple parts with same title – for loan

If only one ISBN is received the Senior Library Assistant Acquisitions will receive the other parts using ‘Dawsons do not send’. Then create a record for each individual item.

Note: that if each item has its own record, the 300 field should show the page numbers of that individual item rather than how many volumes are in the set. This latter information can be included in a 500 note field

Exception:

If there are more than five parts, keep all items on the one record and ensure that the ‘Desc. Note’ in the ‘items’ box shows which volume the item is. Note: In this case, the 300 field does show how many volumes are in the set.

Multiple parts with same title –reference

Item + supplement with same title–for loan / reference – individual ISBNs

Each part should have its own record. If the supplement is substantial enough, it will carry its own ISBN which the Senior Library Assistant Acquisitions will use to receive it.

If the set contains multi-media items, then put in multi-media sequence as a kit.
