Restrict these to their prescribed use, i.e. two or more works "contained in the physical item at the time of publishing, release, issue, or execution" (cf.

For volumes made up of previously published materials reissued by a publisher, usually with a collective title page but not always (often referred to as nonce collections), create a single bibliographic record for the collection (with a contents note).  Curatorial requests to create individual analytical records should be discussed with the Head of Rare Book Section.

For groups of separately-published works gathered together for collective issue by a bookseller/publisher, with or without a title page (often referred to as nonce collections), use cataloger’s judgment to decide whether to create a single bibliographic record for the collection (preferably with a contents note), or to create in addition an analytical record for each item in the collection.
