Thanks very much to all of you who took the time to respond to my question about the use of the term "kit." The consensus is that it's still a viable cataloging and call number term. Responses follow: I use Follett, and Kit is a designation. We have many kits - books with audio tape or cd. I catalog as you have shown - KIT F PAU. Yes, we still use KIT when it contains at least two forms of media. We do follow it with the proper Dewey. I still use the word "kit" whether I shelve the book with others or separately on a hanging rack. I still use KIT and just in the way you showed in your example. Although I will say I haven't purchased anything like a KIT in some time. I use KIT followed by the call numbers. Most of my KITs are multiple videos and other resources to go along with them. I shelve them with the videos. I have some foreign language cassettes and accompanying material and I shelve them with the other audio books. In follett there is still a symbol for kits. Original query: I know "kit" was traditionally used to designate the grouping of > different types of materials. Is "kit" still an acceptable cataloging > term to use in Marc records and call numbers? Example: if we have a > book that we package together with a "spoken word" sound recording, > does that get labeled as a kit? If any of you use the "Kit" > designation, do you just follow the word with the call number? (Kit F > Pau)? Thanks very much for any answers you can send my way. Katherine A.
