I. Basic Bound-With (Print Titles):
| A | |
| A |
1. Instance and Holdings records of first part ("parent" records):
A. Identify which title is first in the physical volume. For that title:
- Locate , import, or create a matching Instance record.
- Edit the Instance with administrative notes and/or statistical codes appropriate to the transaction (inputting, maintenance, etc.).
- Save and close the Instance record.
- If the first title is part of a multi-volume or serial, make sure it is represented in the Holdings Statement of the appropriate record (see below for more on Holdings Statements, Enumerations, etc.)
- Add Oversize designation for the dimensions of the overall volume covers, even if the first part is smaller than the outer cover, and would not be oversize on its own. (**See also special cases below) What if it starts with a v.1 that is not oversize by itself, but is inside Oversize covers, AND we also have v. 2-4, which are not oversize? Would they all be shelved in Oversize? Or would there be a Holdings note for v.1 saying it's shelved in Oversize? Would there be a separate Holdings for v.1 (Oversize), and for v. 2-4 (non Oversize)?
- In the Holdings Notes section, add a note, with Note type: Note, identifying the NEXT (second) part in the piece. Use the format "Bound with: [author name (last,first)]. Title of resource". If the title is excessively long, enter enough of it to allow for a reasonable search (see examples below). NOTE: the Holdings notes should be PUBLIC. Do NOT check the "staff only" box at the end of the note field.
- Save and close the Holdings record.
- Alternate Approaches: We may also encounter a Bound-with resource whose Holdings note indicates that the title is the first in a volume that has a certain spine title. The term "lettered" is used to note what the spine title is (see examples 3 and 4). This approach is often seen with Rare materials in the database. When creating new Bound-with records, LTS staff should follow step 4 above (as illustrated in the first 2 examples), but we should be aware of this second approach for "lettered" resources when maintaining or correcting records.
*{Should we have a note somewhere about the Call numbers? Is that covered in a cataloging procedure? They should all be the same for the titles/parts in the resource (unless they're series-class, and the numbers at the end would be different)?, and call number is for first part, and applies to all later parts, correct? -Separate Holdings for single issues/volumes of a serial/multi-vol. so it would share the same (main/first) call #? We should NOT add sequence numbers to the Call numbers, correct? (even though we may run into them?)) See also section below (Child records).
EXAMPLES:
2. Item Record for the first/parent title
A. Create an item record, attached to the Holdings for the first title in the resource, as outlined above:
- Enter the barcode number in the Barcode field.
- This single item record will represent the entire physical volume, so be sure to record the proper enumeration and/or chronology for the bound volume in the item record ONLY if it appears on the spine or on a title page referring to the ENTIRE bound-with resource. If the first part/title IS ITSELF an individual volume or issue of a serial or multi-volume, the parent enumeration field will be left BLANK. <Discussed w. Pam, confirm w. CWM Will also take census of call number variations among BW materials.
3. Instance and Holdings Records for second (and subsequent) titles in a Bound-with resource ("child records")
A. After creating or correcting the "parent" records in the resource as outlined above, identify the subsequent titles or works in the physical volume. For each one:
- Locate, import, or create a matching Instance record, adding administrative notes or statistical codes as applicable, and Save.
- For Single-part monographs, locate or create the corresponding Holdings record:
- Make sure the call number is the same as that of the parent record.
- As with the first title, assign an Oversize designation based on the physical resource, even if the second (or subsequent) part(s) in the resource are smaller than Oversize.
- Add a Holdings Note, with Note type: Note, saying "Bound with [Author/title information of the FIRST resource in the volume]".
- Add another Holdings Note, but with Note Type: Bound with item data, and enter the barcode number from the piece in-hand (or copied from the Item record of the first title in the resource). This is the ONLY place the barcode will be recorded for second and subsequent titles/parts in a bound-with resource. It will NOT be recorded in its Item record (see below).
- All of the titles/parts AFTER the first (parent) title should have some version of the 2 Holdings notes in steps c. and d. above (among any other notes specific to that title): one note referring back to the FIRST author & title in the resource, and one note citing the barcode on the piece as "Bound with item data".
- For bound-with items that were processed with the alternate scheme, second or subsequent titles in the resource will simply follow the sequence in which the title appears, e.g. "no. 3 in a volume lettered...", or "no. 4", etc.
Examples:
4. Item Records for second (or subsequent) titles in a Bound-with (i.e. "empty" item records)
A. If the Holdings record has no Holdings Statement info for volumes, supplements, or indexes:
- Create a new item record
- Leave the barcode field BLANK.
- The Material Type field should be set to the same type as the first title in the item (e.g. Book, Map, Microform, etc.)
- Type "Bound with" in the Enumeration field of the record.
- If the item is part of a microfilm, microfiche, microcard, or some other film type, type "Filmed with" in the Enumeration field of the item record (see below).
- Save and Close the Item record.
5. Holdings and Item records of Second (and Subsequent) parts of Bound-with materials, when those parts are individual
...
parts/issues of multi-volume monographs or Serials:
Holdings Notes:
A. If the second or subsequent part of a bound-with resource is part of a serial or multi-volume set, add that part's volume/issue number (or other identifying information) with the barcode in the Holdings Note (with note type "Bound With Item Data", as outlined in Section 3.A.2.d above). This is to show which part or parts of the title represented by that holdings record are included in the "bound with" piece.

This technique can also be used to link holdings for analyzed portions of serials to the serial record when a separate item record is not required or desired for the monographic records for the analyzed pieces. < From the original procedure. Does it need fleshing out? Examples? Has it changed? It seems like Partially Analyzed Serials DO get empty item records for the monographic records? See Instance 1117089 as it relates to Instance 2013888, but there are also many counterexamples. Would this be where we might insert a link to partially analyzed serial explanation page? See also below notes.
6. Item Records for second or subsequent titles with Holdings Statements/Enumeration/Chronology:
A. After entering the volume information with the "parent" barcode in the Holdings note, we similarly add the enumeration/chronology information in the corresponding "empty" Item record:
...
However, if Cornell has not cataloged any titles that have been bound together subsequent to publication in a single physical volume, create a instance and holdings record for the first title in the volume. Add the following staff note in the holdings:

| B |
1. Identify which title is first on the microfilm reel, either with a viewer, or from the Instance Notes, Holdings Notes (type: Reproduction), or from a call number search. If it is not clear which is the first title on the reel (e.g from damage, lack of a title page, unrecognizable language, etc.), choose one of the titles as the "primary" title. For that title:

a. Create an "empty" item record (no barcode). See below for more information about what to record or not record in these items.
