I have invented a new system, Unilib, for organising books in a library.

... Except that you're not allowed to call them "books" any more, because I've already redefined the word "book" to mean "the physical expression of a catalogue entry". Since what the user normally experiences as a book may actually require several catalogue entries, we can no longer use the word "book" for this object. Consequently, we need a new word or phrase to describe what the user normally experiences as a book. We tried calling them "volumes" back in Unilib 3.0, but it turned out that that word was also used for something else. So now we call them "default chapter clusters".

Hey - the public will just have to get used to it!
