1.6G2. Numbering for multipart items
LC practice: When a multipart item itself is in a series and the multipart item is classified as a collection, record the numbering of the series in the collected set record according to the following guidelines until the multipart item is complete.
1. Record the series numbering for the first or last volume as permanent data, i.e., not within angle brackets.
2. Record all the series numbering as permanent data when the first or last volume is in hand with other consecutive volumes of the multipart item and the series numbering is scattered.
3. In all other situations, record the series numbering as temporary data, i.e., within angle brackets.
Use a hyphen to separate consecutive numbers and a comma to separate scattered numbers. When the multipart item is complete, show all numbering as permanent data.
First or last volume of multipart item being cataloged
Volumes other than first or last volumes of multipart item being cataloged
