Searching for “bound-with” titles

“Bound With” Records in Alma

There are two ways to create a “bound with” record:

  1. Use the 773 to link a parent bib and a child bib from within the child record.
  2. Use the 774 to link a parent bib and a child bib from within the parent record.

The “children” that are bound within do not have item records and are not searchable under the “Physical Title” search; you have to use the “All Titles” search.

Example for “Child record” with a bibliographic bound-with note.

-Must use “All Titles” search.

-Note that there are no holdings or items listed for the child record:

The 773 field shows the parent title:

Example for a “parent” record:

-Searching “All Titles” for parent title brings up both parent and child records:

-774 field in the bibliographic record would show information for child title.
