<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">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.
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">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.<o:p></o:p></p>

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.<o:p></o:p></p>
