Light everywhere : selected poems / Cees Nooteboom ; translated by David Colmer. (OCLC #859583862)

The title page has a Seagull books logo, and its verso lists two “publishing” roles:

Typeset by Seagull Books, Calcutta, India
Printed and bound by Maple Press, York, Pennsylvania, USA

I would have chosen Seagull books as the publisher (considering Maple Press to be more of a manufacturer) but the copy in OCLC says Maple Press. Variation in choice of publisher does not justify a new record, so I put our holdings on this record. I’d feel weird changing the record when it already has holdings, or having our local record not match on a major element (such things can cause problems when doing a reclamation) so I left the record as it is.

Computer programs for chemical engineering education. (OCLC #1434748)

The set containing the volume on the left is on its way to storage; we happen to have two additional copies of this volume in a smaller format. The smaller edition (also headed to storage) had been cataloged on its own monograph record, but as far as i can tell it is just a shrunk down copy of the larger one, except for the publisher (which sounds more like a printer/manufacturer to me), so I considered these to be added copies of the volume.

There is potential benefit to making that one volume more discoverable though subject access on its own record, but also benefit to tidiness and keeping the set together, so this was a judgment call. The title/author are included in a contents note in the set record, so the volume is still discoverable that way if somebody is looking for it.
