   Multivolume monographs
   
   • Follow instructions in Format of MARC Holdings Records: Description.
   • In the Textual Holdings Statement (866 field), for all language materials, CUL catalogers should use the designations appearing on the title page and/or the contents note, using the approved abbreviations (AACR2, Appendix B), or, if not covered by AACR2, the abbreviations can be found online at Abbreviations for Captions . If no designation appears on the title page, the volume enumeration should be recorded in square brackets without a supplied designation (Example: [1]; not [v.1]).
   • In the item record, CUL catalogers should use the vernacular form of the enumeration.  If no designation appears on the title page and the square bracket convention was used on in the MFHDholdings statement, supply a suitable designation on the item record (Example: MFHD holdings statement = [1]; ITEM ENUM = v.1).
   • When roman numerals appear on the piece, CUL catalogers should convert the roman numerals to arabic numerals in both the MFHD holdings statement and the item records.  (Exception: In rare cases, it may be necessary to retain roman numerals on in the MFHD holdings statement for clarity.)
     
   • If such designations as "suppl.", "index", "atlas", etc. are used as part of the call number, they should be abbreviated using the approved AACR2 abbreviationRD abbreviations, supplemented by our local Abbreviations . If there is no AACR2 RDA abbreviation, and the designation will not fit on the spine label (i.e. it is more than 10 characters long), use a reasonable non-approved abbreviation or select an alternative term. If the designation on the item is in the vernacular, use a suitable English designation.

   Series classed together
   
   • The designation (also called the caption) will appear along with the call number in the 852 Call Number box of the Mfhdholdings record.
   • Use the designation as it appears in the 642 field of the series authority record and the 830 field of the bibliographic record. If the numbering, or any level of it, appears without a caption, supply a suitable English designation for use in the Enum field Enumeration box of the Voyager item record and on the volume.
   • If all the items in the shelflist use an English caption rather than the vernacular caption appearing in the 642 field, continue to use the English designation.
   • If there is no approved AACR2 RDA abbreviation for a caption, and it will not fit on the spine label, use a suitable English caption.
   • In a multi-volume work within a series classed, the 852 Call Number should include either a continuous span of numbers (EXAMPLE: BX3301 . A53 v.19-20) or else the individual numbers within the series (EXAMPLE: BR60 . C813 v.2, 15, 17, 34)

     If the numbers are too many to fit easily into the space provided in the 852 Call Number box, a cataloger may use: BR60 . C813 v.2, etc. 

   • If only one volume of a multi-volume work within a series classed is being cataloged, the caption appearing in the 852 Call Numberbox is not repeated in the Enum field Enumeration of the Voyager item record. However, if more than one volume is being cataloged, and thus more than one number is recorded in the 852 of the Mfhd Call Number, record the number of the individual piece in the Enum field Enumeration of each item record. (EXAMPLE: The Mfhd Call Number reads BX3301 . A53 v.19-20. There will be 2 item records with Enums Enumerations for v.19 and v.20)
