Small titles under a collective title

Some time we encounter works like these:

中国电影专业史研究 电影编剧卷
中国电影专业史研究 电影导演卷
中国电影专业史研究 电影表演卷
中国电影专业史研究 电影摄影卷(上)
中国电影专业史研究 电影摄影卷(下)
中国电影专业史研究 电影声音卷
… …
中国电影专业史研究:电影动画卷

and
民俗上海 松江卷
民俗上海 金山卷
民俗上海 浦东卷
民俗上海 崇明卷
民俗上海 闸北卷
… …
民俗上海嘉定卷

These are what I call “many small titles under a collective title”. There can be two ways to catalog them.

I. Treat all parts as one, create one bibliographic record, and then add 505 content note and 740 analytic titles if necessary.

II. Create separate bibliographic records for each volume, then assign an identical call number only differentiated by title of each volume.

The two cases here 中国电影专业史研究 and 民俗上海 follow the first and second appraoches respectively. You can do a title search to loacte these two examples on OSCAR.

More examples for Treatment I:
中华五福吉祥图典:福/禄/寿/喜/财 Designs of Chinese blessings: good fortune/high salary/longevity/happiness/wealth (NK1483.A1Z53 2003)
