I am not sue if the custom edition in your email means a different edition or a different physical form. If it is a different edition, I would use 775. If it is a different physical form, I would use 776. Hopefully it helps :-) Joan Wang Illinois Heartland Library System On Tue, Aug 20, 2013

If you want to link full textbook to the custom edition, I think that $i custom edition in 775 field should be OK. Does custom edition appear on the source as well as the record? If you want to use a more specific relationship term, the relationship seems to be at the expression instead of work
