<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">One thing I have done in the past is to use the “parenthetical plural,” for lack of a better phrase, i.e., “volume(s)”, “image(s), etc. Thus, 1 volume(s) or
4 volume(s). This does not work for foot/feet obviously.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">What I mean by this is we might have 1 volume or 2 volumes in a collection. Do you have both "volume" and "volumes" in the Extent Type drop-down or do you force people to chose "volumes" even if they only have 1 item (and then manually
fix the spawned finding aid/marc record)?<o:p></o:p></p>
