“Russian despotism” : the origins and dissemination of an early modern commonplace / by Marshall Tillbrook Poe. (OCLC #31820585)

The OCLC record we found for this dissertation (and its reproductions) indicate an extent of 451 leaves:

300  vi, 451 leaves ; ǂc 28 cm

which is consistent with our table of contents, but our volume only goes up to 367 pages. We are missing the conclusion chapter! There are very few holdings on the OCLC records, so I’ll check with the selector to find out whether we want to keep the incomplete volume.

This bibliographic record represents the full set, as indicated by the physical description:

    300 __ ǂa 34 volumes in 12 ; ǂc 24 cm

but our MFHD indicated that we had an incomplete set (the comma after 1-19 indicates a gap):

    852 3_ ‡b yl,sd ‡h Y 4.J 89/2:C 79/
    866 41 ‡a no.1-19,
    866 41 ‡a no.22-34
    868 41 ‡a Index

This volume came down to my desk for cataloging, allowing me to complete the set!

Trial in a goldfish bowl [videorecording] / produced by ATS/CLE State Bar of Wisconsin in cooperation with Media-Law Renations [i.e. Relations] Committee of the State Bar of Wisconsin. (OCLC #43042952)

When we bought this title in 1985, it consisted of 5 U-matic videocassettes and a manual. The video is a mock trial (based on an actual case) in which a boy was injured in a farm machinery accident. It was designed as a teaching aid for journalism students learning to report on trials. We no longer have the cassettes (or a way to play them in the library), and though the manual (likely) contains the full script of the tapes, it is not as useful for its intended purpose.
