CAT/SET/A Example 4

Multiple volumes; Separate numbering -- non-consecutive

• The CALL (or LCAL as required) will contain the base call number without any individual volume numbers
• No CCAL ‡b is needed
• The MDES for each individual item will contain the specific volume number(s) in that separate physical piece
• For each item shown in an MDES, the LANT will equate its volume number within the title to its volume number within the series

This example shows a non-consecutively numbered, three volume set with no volumes listed in CALL and each volume separately listed in MDES. While we only own the first two volumes, the structure is established based on the numbering for the entire three volume set.

NOTE: Whenever the LC call number contains a volume number plus "etc.," we can eliminate everything after the base call number in CALL. It is not necessary to use LCAL unless there are other differences between the LC call number and our local call number.

NOTE: In this particular example "Bd.147" is not part of the base call number (even though we only own parts one and two of the title) because part three of the title is in "Bd.148."
