Re: [LM_NET] Cataloging an anthology of novels

[Thomas Kaun <tomkaun@GMAIL.COM>]

Hi, Deb.
For any item which has multiple titles (even short story and poetry
collections) you can add a title in the 740 field for each title in the
collection. You should also add a 700 entry with the author's entry and a
subfield "t" for title. It might look something like this: _ a Hawthorne,
Nathaniel, _d 1804-1864. _t Scarlet letter. (note a couple things: period
follows date (or name if there is no date) and drop the article at the
beginning of the title).
By doing this patrons will see both the title and the author when they are
searching for a particular item which is located in an anthology.

Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day,
something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else
would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of
unanimity.
