Scope: This procedure addresses the creation or revision of appropriate Holdings and Item records for materials where two or more works, issued independently, were later bound, filmed, or housed together in a single unit (e.g. in a volume, on a single microfilm reel, etc.). The works may be related by publisher, theme, genre, or other elements, but often, or they may simply contain a variety of works reflecting the choices of the original compiler.  See cataloging rules for bibliographic description of such works. (<--where would this be? Link? clarify? delete?). Each of the titles will have its own bibliographic a separate instance record, but the physical piece will have 1 barcode, so it is crucial that the Bound-with information be entered accurately in the relevant Holdings and Item records, to direct patrons and staff to to link the titles to a single Item record, so staff and patrons can locate the correct resource.  It is recommended that only experienced catalogers or Database Quality staff work with "bound-with" materials, unless appropriate training can be arranged.

THIS PROCEDURE IS UNDERGOING REVISIONS AS OF 7/1/25, AND IS NOT YET FULLY UP TO DATE.

Instance and Holdings

1. Identify which title is first in the physical volume. For that title:
   1. Locate, import, or create a matching bibliographic Instance record. Edit the Instance with administrative notes and statistical codes as appropriate.
   2. Locate or create a Holdings record with the appropriate Holdings Type, location, and call number information for that first title. 
      1. In the Holdings Notes section, add a note, with Note type: Note, indicating one of the following, as appropriate :
         1. The NEXT (second) title in the volume, using the format "Bound with: ( author name, if  if available (last/first). Title of resource (or enough of the title to allow for a reasonable search.  (see examples 1 and 2)
         2. Alternatively, the Holdings note can indicate that the title is the first in a volume with that has a certain spine title. We use the term "lettered" to note what the spine title is (see examples 3 and 4). (What determines this? Do we prefer option 1? "no. 1 in volume lettered:" seems to be mostly RMC?  Are there guidelines/scenarios where one is preferable?  If option 1, then will revise option 2 as more of an FYI, since people may still encounter them? See also partially analyzed serials below)
      2. NOTE: In both of the above cases, the Holdings notes should be public. Do NOT check the "staff only" box at the end of the note field.

EXAMPLES: 

(To add/revise?: more explanation/examples of partially analyzed serials? Not because we still do them, but because it's a type of bound-with that we may encounter? ), and I'm not sure if they're explained elsewhere? )
