A volume holdings record is created in the following situations:
300 ‡a v.
300 ‡a 1 v. in 2
300 ‡a 2 v.
300 ‡a 3 v. in 4
300 ‡a 4 v. in 3
A volume holdings record is not created in the following situations:
300 ‡a 1 v.
300 ‡a 2 v. in 1

A caption is a word or phrase that identifies the parts of the item (for example, volume, Band, heft, part, number, or tome). Captions are (1) recorded in the form appearing on the publication and (2) abbreviated according to the appropriate portions of Anglo-American Cataloging Rules (Second edition 1988 revision) Appendix B. If the appropriate caption cannot be determined from the bibliographic description, it is not recorded in the volume holdings record.
tome 2 is recorded as t.2
nmbr 3 is recorded as no.3
Band 4 is recorded as Bd.4
volume 5 is recorded as v.5
Teil 6 is recorded as T.6
The hyphen is used to indicate an unbroken range of holdings. The comma is used to indicate a gap in a range of holdings.
Remember:
The 866 field is used to record textual holdings for monographic material. The 1st indicator is always recorded as 4 (to indicate holdings specificity level 4) and the 2nd indicator is always recorded as 1 (to indicate that holdings are recorded according to ANSI/NISO Z39.58).
