When
a collection is accompanied by a listing of titles a note
should be given to that effect.
|
|
| 505 |
A formal
contents note should be given (within reason).
If
the collection is too large for a contents note, a separate
listing of the entire collection may be placed with the item,
in DR,or other appropriate locations and a note
given to that effect. Consult the selector before following this
option..
Contents
notes in the bibliographic record are preferable, since they
allow keyword access in the online catalog.
- If
a complete listing of works in a 505 is undesirable, consider
a partial list, or abbreviated information to allow
online access.
