DefinitionA physical item such as a volume or microfilm reel that contains more than 1 separately-cataloged bibliographic title. The classic example is a volume of separately-published pamphlets that were subsequently brought together and bound by a collector or library. The generic RDA relationship among the pamphlets is accompanied by (item): An item brought together with another item after being issued. The RDA relationship between the pamphlets and the overall volume is contained in (item): A larger item of which the [described] item is a discrete component. The MARC relationship is "host/constituent" as expressed in the tags 773 and 774.  Sample host record: Multi-title collection including The book of common prayer and administration of the sacraments and 2 others Host recordTo represent the "vertical" relationship between the constituent titles and their host, a record for the host must be created. The content can be as full as warranted for the particular case. These fields are required in the host record:
In addition, there may be information on binding, provenance, and so forth. Such notes pertain to the host rather than the constituents. Do not code them as "item-specific" as the entire host entity is unique. Host records are considered to be local cataloging. Do not add a 902 field. 774 field774 fields will be added to host records programmatically. As of 11/18/21, Catalogers should add 774 fields manually. The set will be based on new "Multi-title collection" records that do not contain 774s. Records in which the host's MMS ID appears in 773 $$w will provide the MMS IDs for the host's 774 $$w. That subfield will be the only content in the field. Constituent records: 773 fieldIn each constituent record, add a 773 field as link to the host. Indicators 0#. If the host is composed of multiple units, use $$g to specify the unit that contains the constituent. 773 0# $$w [MMS ID of the host] $$g vol. 3 HoldingsThe host record gets holdings and item records as usual. Constituent records do not have a holdings representing the host. Instead, the 773 $$w serves as a link to the host record, and its holdings record become a "related record" holding for the constituents. The constituents thus are considered to be physical titles in Alma. TemplatesPUL has shared templates for Bound With host records and for 773 fields.
