Copy designations

In general, each physical entity is considered to be a single copy.

Sequential copy designations (i.e., c.2, c.3, etc.) are assigned in the following cases:

    - to multiple loose copies of a single document
    - to multiple bound volumes that bind precisely duplicative contents.

Local binding practices occasionally create the situation whereby an additional copy is bound with other issues either within a given series, or with another series so as to reflect a different call number, or with a bibliographically unrelated item(s).  In any of these situations, add a MARC 590-Local Note to the record for c.1 and state, at minimum, the call number of the other bound volume(s):

    590    SILVER SPRING: Another copy bound with [call no. of bound vol.]

In some NCL records, additional details of other bound volumes are included in the MARC 590-Local Note:
