A history of blacks in Kentucky. Volume 2, In pursuit of equality, 1890-1980 / by George C. Wright. (OCLC #897141513)

When I have only one volume of a set in hand, I prefer to catalog on copy for the set when I can. Even with a good set record available that we could have derived from, I was not sure that we would eventually also have electronic access to the first volume, so we chose to make this record for the second volume only. In such a record, the volume number and name are encoded as part of the Title Proper:

Aurelio : rebel with a cause / Modern Legacies presents a documentary by Camilo Vila ; produced by Kert Vander Meulen, Henry Vargas, Camilo Vila ; directed by Camilo Vila ; executive producers Orlando Jiménez Leal, Gilberto de Cárdenas, Eduardo Palmer. (OCLC #904341145)

I cataloged this DVD using the new DVD/Blu-Ray best practices guide from OLAC.

Though recording performers, narrators and presenters is not required, I most enjoyed recording this cast list:

511 1_ ǂa Joseph Cordieri (Aurelio the music student), Alexandre
    Mangin (Aurelio as a child), Norman Smith (Igor Stravinsky),
    Henry Vargas (Chauffeur), Fabiola Robaina (nun).

Deep veils : Erik L’Heureux and Pencil Office / Erik L’Heureux and Grit Vltavsky. (OCLC #880198268)

This volume is oddly sized and bound. The white part is the cover, wrapped around the larger beige signatures; you can see page number “1” poking over the top. There are also about 15 (double-sided) sheets of different sizes tipped in throughout the book that are unnumbered (no space left in the page sequence), so I guess they are plates? Many of the numbered pages have only illustrations, and some smaller pages have only text; not how I usually think of plates, but I think they qualify.

RDA 5.5.1.4.14 on the dimension of volumes mentions the situation where the volume contains separate text blocks of varying dimensions (which is not precisely this case); it says in that case to record the height (or height × width) of the binding only – I think the spirit of this instruction is to record the dimension of the carrier, which is what is recorded in the copy I found:

21 cm

I mentioned the odd plate sizing in a note for identification purposes:

500 __ ǂa Plates of different sizes, smaller than numbered pages.

so I also included the plates, as they are mentioned in a note, per RDA 3.4.5.9.

I did find an individual record for this small atlas, but I noticed that a copy of the resource that it typically accompanies is already in our collection. Rather than catalog the atlas separately, I added an additional mfhd to our main record:
