In general, when captions are used in a catalog record to delineate volumes or parts, use the same caption consistently throughout all parts of the record. In other words, use the same terms to identify the part whether in the bibliographic record, the MARC holdings record, the item records, the call number or the label. Do not consider generic terms that appear in the 300 field to be captions. Transcribe the captions that appear on the item and use abbreviations found in AACR2, Appendix B, in accordance with ANSI/NISO Z39.57, Holdings Statements for Non-Serial Items.
EXCEPTION: When a pattern for designating volumes or parts has been established for a series or title in which volumes have previously been cataloged, continue to follow the pattern for added volumes even if it does not conform to the policy described above.
500:0 : $a Bd. 1, Heft 1. [title] -- Bd. 1, Heft 2. [title] -- [etc.]
You use these same designations to record the holdings in the MARC holdings record:
866: 1: $a Bd.1:Heft 1 Bd.1:Heft 2 [etc.]
and on the item record:
ENUM/CHRON: Bd.1:Heft 1
and, finally, on the spine of each book:
| PT | rather than | PT |
| 2024 | 2024 | |
| .R35 | .R35 | |
| 1978 | 1978 | |
| Bd.1 | vol.1 | |
| Heft 1 | pt.1 |
