If two or more different works are bound together, either as one part (single volume) or as separate parts but bound together in a single case; and no collective title* is made for these works (often the title of the first work appeared as the title), we can treat them as “bound with” and provide a “with” note as defined by AACR2. Method of cataloging “bound with” follows.

• Create separate bibliographic records for each work/title.
• Assign one classification to all works; if different, classify under the first title.
• Add a 501 field (501__ with xxx) in each bib record.
• Create only one item record under the bib record made for the first title.
• Link that item record to other Bib records.

Result of this approach: When a user searches either title, he/she will get the bib record made for that title, and see an item available under it. When the user checks out the item, he/she is actually checking out all the works/titles bound together at the same time. In other words, when one title is checked out, the other are also checked out.

*Note: Do not use the “bound-with” treatment for different titles that are grouped under a collective title. In the latter case the collective title will be used as the title for the record, and 505 Content field will be provided to tell what titles are in this book under the collective title.
