I have many books to rush catalog, all of which are custom editions for classes 
taught at Kent State University.  I’m taking the record for the full textbook 
and deriving an original record for the custom edition. I’d like to add a 776 
to link the full textbook to the custom edition.  I’m not sure of what to put 
in the subfield I of the 776 to explain the relationship.  I think that in most 
cases, the custom editions are excerpts, but the first one I’ve looked at 
closely appears to have the same pagination as the texbook, with the addition 
of a course syllabus.

I really like my coworkers suggestion,

776 08  ǂi Excerpts from (work): ǂa Hamilton, Cheryl. ǂt Communicating for 
success. ǂd Boston : Allyn & Bacon, c2011 ǂz 0205524753 ǂw (DLC)  2009045254 ǂw 
(OCoLC)316017345

But wonder if it’s safe to assume these are all excerpts versus modifications.

Thus I’d just like to check with the collective wisdom before I take final 
action.  Since these are rush cataloging requests, the sooner I can hear from 
you all the better!

Thanks in advance for your help.
