Fascicles/Leiferungs

Booksets that come in Fascicles or Lieferungs (or their counterparts in any other language) For booksets that are issued in parts with the intent of the publisher to provide a binder and often a collective title page when all parts have been published -- the following procedures will be followed:

• The piece will get barcoded and an item record ("call/copy" record in Sirsi-speak) will be created.
• A "Do Not Bind" flag will be inserted.
• It will get marked and go to the stacks (or appropriate location for the title).
• It will be added to holdings in a separate 866 field with a delimiter z Unbound note added.
• When the Binder arrives, the pieces will be collected and bound (it is the choice of the library whether to use the binder provided or our commercial bindery -- especially if the provided binder is of poor quality)
• The items ("call/copy" records) for the individual pieces will be deleted and one item will be linked for the full volume.
• The holdings will be updated to add the full volume to the holdings and the unbound holdings deleted.
