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.
