If two or more different works are bound together, either as one part (single volume) or as separate parts but bound together in a 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.

• 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 first title.
• Link that item record to other Bib records.

The result of this is: 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.

*Do not use the “bound-with” treatment for different titles that are grouped under a collective title.
