Are we using primary/secondary in two ways? That is, to refer to the
aggregate (e.g., conference proceedings vs. a paper in the
proceedings), and to a basic work and its added bits (e.g., the
preface, introduction, bibliography, and index in a particular
manifestation)?
These seem two very different things to me, and are certainly
considered so by our clients. Some get 505 and perhaps 7XX; others
get their own records.
This is all very theoretical in the midst of dealing with the needs of
a new e-publisher client, who doesn't know what a MARC/AACR2 record
is, only that their library clients want those records.
I can see a library purchasing a particular chapter. But would a
library ever purchase a preface, introduction, bibliography, or index
apart from the whole e-book? I feel guilty charging to create records
for those.
