<font face="Calibri" size="+1" color="#0000DD" style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:14pt;color:#0000DD;">Hi all,<br />
<br />
Thanks for the minutes, but I am confused. Is this contradictory? <br />
</font><font face="Calibri" size="+1" color="#000000" style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:14pt;color:#000000;">"In order to prevent ILL problems, catalogers are reminded to use the volume field to identify individual discs <b>IF </b>an entire set of dvds is <b>not </b>being circulated as one item.<b> It will be assumed that all others circulate as a "complete set". </b>This applies to programs in a series or movie and feature discs."</font><font face="Calibri" size="+1" color="#0000DD" style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:14pt;color:#0000DD;"><br />
This makes me think that you don't need to use "complete set" in the volume field of an unbroken set.<br />
<br />
</font><font face="Calibri" size="+1" color="#000000" style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:14pt;color:#000000;">"If a library breaks up their set of dvds and attaches to a bib with no volume fields (indicating they are complete sets) then the cataloger can notify other libraries on the cat listserv or Ellen so that "complete set" will be added to the volume fields for their item records so the patron can make item level holds."<br />
</font><font face="Calibri" size="+1" color="#0000DD" style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:14pt;color:#0000DD;">This makes me think that we are supposed to add "complete set" as soon as a library adds a broken set.<br />
<br />
I think the important thing to do here is to <b>change any bib level holds to item level holds.</b></font><font face="Calibri" size="+1" color="#000000" style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:14pt;color:#000000;"><b><br />
</b></font><font face="Calibri" size="+1" color="#0000DD" style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:14pt;color:#0000DD;"><br />
It would be nice if we didn't need to add "complete set" for everything where there is a broken set attached. <br />

</font><font face="Calibri" size="+1" color="#0000DD" style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:14pt;color:#0000DD;">Another topic in the minutes: <br />
List #385 was down to only two records. I ran another list of bib level holds on records with volume field and found about 30.<br />
Many of these were graphic novels, where the title or volume# was repeated in the volume field, so I deleted those fields and removed them from the list. There are now down to 16 records. Please take a look when you have time. </font><font face="Calibri" size="+1" color="#000000" style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:14pt;color:#000000;"><br />
