Adding to 505 (contents) notes
NOTE 1: In general, do not make added entries for editors of individual volumes noted in the 505 field.

Adjust the 505 field to include the individual volume titles (and authors/editors if necessary) of the volumes being added. Follow the established pattern when adding to a 505 note.

Example 1:

505 1 v. 1. The Americas -- v. 2. Eurasia
-AV is vol. 3: Oceania.
Change contents note to:
505 1 v. 1.The Americas --v. 2.Eurasia --v. 3.Oceania (4 v.)
[v. 3 is in 4 volumes]
-300 field would also need to be adjusted from "v." to "v. in".

505 1 pt. A. The classical era -- pt. C. The Renaissance / edited by T. Jackson.
-AV is pt. B: The dark ages , edited by R. Jones, K. Thomas, G. Dawson, and O. Lee.
Change contents note to:

(Added entry will be necessary for R. Jones)

Example 4 (Same title on more than one AV):

505 1 v. 1. Wildlife -- v. 2. Fisheries.
