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.
Jain Fletcher is principal cataloger and head of the technical services division in the Department of Special Collections at University of California, Los Angeles, in Los Angeles, CA.
