Item Record for Items with Accompanying Material

Procedures:

  • Record the number of accompanying pieces including the main item in the pieces field.
  • Example: text volume with an accompanying CD. Add "2" in the pieces field of the item record (see the image below)
  • The pieces field should also be used for collection level cataloging to record the number of items included. In those cases, do NOT include the box in the count.

Examples:

1 print volume with a map in back pocket

Pieces = 2

1 score in 3 parts

Pieces = 4

1 CD jewel case with 2 CDs

Pieces = 2

1 boxed collection with 32 pamphlets inside

Pieces = 32
