Some of you may remember that I posted the following query to the
listserv at the beginning of the year. I did get a number of great
responses (thank you!), but the question got buried a bit in a list
mishap where duplicate messages spawned between videolib and videonews.
I thought I'd toss it out one more time to see if those of you who did
not respond in January might be able to give their $.02 this time around.
Thanks,

I am curious to know what your general approach is to cataloging movies
which are packaged in sets, such as the Criterion Eclipse Series; for
example, The First Films of Samuel Fuller, which contains three
individual films. Would you catalog this as:
A) One record with three parts, e.g. The First Films of Samuel Fuller
(set, parts 1-3)
or
B) Three individual records, e.g. The Steel Helmet, The Baron of
Arizona, and I Shot Jesse James?
If you have an extra second and could let me know what kind of library
you represent (academic / public / etc.), I'd appreciate it.
Cheers,

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control,
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
