The unreliable bestiary : an ark of stories about animals, our relationships with them, & the world they inhabit / Deke Weaver. (OCLC #957129744)

We got several of these DVDs in our fine arts library, parts of the Unreliable bestiary, a series of performances about endangered species and their habitats, one for each letter of the alphabet. So far, we had wolf, bear, elephant.

So how to catalog? One record per animal? All together as a set? As a serial?

We felt that not much would be gained by cataloging the pieces on individual records; our cataloger in the Fine Arts library said their patrons would be most interested in knowing about the performances as a group (and we found it less likely that researchers on wolves, bears, elephants would benefit from subject access for their particular animals), so we decided to catalog them together. As the series has a pre-determined (if far-off) ending, we don’t consider this a serial, and cataloged the works as a set.
