A complete discourse on "bound-with books" will help catalogers create records for these materials that are appropriate to their value and uniqueness.

Written to provide catalogers an all-in-one resource for information about bound-with books and relevant cataloging practices, Collection-level Cataloging: Bound-with Books takes a fresh look at collection-level cataloging for these often overlooked materials.



The volume begins with an explanation of the phenomenon in which individuals assembled and bound together nonrelated printed material, documenting how this practice continued through the centuries as wider literacy and use of printed materials gained ground. The various methods used to describe bound-with books in catalogs over time are also discussed. Most critically for today's librarian's, the book describes the elements that can now be used in putting together a collection-level record for a bound compilation, offering rationale for catalogers who must choose between two very different cataloging approaches in making their records. Careful illustrations, photographs, and examples further clarify the process.

Booklist Review

Anyone who has been faced with cataloging a volume containing more than one book (called a bound-with book) will appreciate this all-in-one resource that provides an overview of the history, past and current practices, and more related to dealing with this special type of material. Part of the Third Millennium Cataloging series, this volume is based on older cataloging standards, which does not detract from the usability of the theories and concepts presented. The seven chapters are a thought-provoking read about the cataloging of these materials, addressing an issue that has been only glossed over in most cataloging guides and handbooks. A valuable guide to ensure proper care and attention is paid to the treatment of bound-with books in the bibliographic record.--Marcus, Sara Copyright 2010 Booklist
