<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi VivianLea,<br><br></div>We do this for the few manuscript collections we hold where we have taken possession of the individuals' personal library. Typically we call the series "library" or "personal library," and either enter book titles as item level records or attach a pdf listing of the books as an external document at the series level. In some cases, we have digitized versions of notable individuals' (public domain) books to make annotations available, and attach these as item level records in Personal Library series that otherwise do not have item level description. <br><br></div>I'm not sure how well all of this gels with EAD, but our first priority is making our holdings intelligible for researchers, and this seems intuitive for our users. I'd be interested to hear any horror stories from other users about similar setups, though.<br><br><div><div><div><div><img src="https://anderson.edu/uploads/au-email-logo.gif" width="251" height="93"><font size="2"><font size="4"><b><font size="2"><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)">Nicholas Stanton-Roark</span></font></b></font></font><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)"> | Archivist | </span><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)"><span><font color="#888888"><span><font color="#888888"><span style="font-family:Arial,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px;color:rgb(136,136,136)">Robert A.

<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning all,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Happy Monday. Here’s a conundrum to start off your week…<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m a lone arranger with a large number of books within my archives. I know that ASpace is not designed to handle books (but it can) and I have no other library catalog at my disposal. Many of the books could be put within existing collections
(defined as artificial assemblages). My thought is to designate the last series in the collection as “books” and add the titles under that series record.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone done anything similar? Thoughts? Concerns? Problems you’ve encountered?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Will appreciate any and all feedback on or off list.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">MANY thanks!<u></u><u></u></p>
