Accompanying materials vs. "MulVer" titles

Where a title is published with accompanying materials, count the title and volume(s) of the principle format under that format and volumes only under the format of the accompanying information. For example, a book with 23 accompanying microfiche sheets would count as "1 book title, 1 book volume" and "23 microfiche pieces"; a computer manual with accompanying CD-ROM would be counted as "1 book title, 1 book volume" and "1 computer file volume"
In cases where a title is published separately in multiple formats and these are given holdings, 530, 856, etc. on a single "mulver" record, count the titles and volumes in each format under the respective formats. For example, a serial which we subscribe to in paper, CD-ROM, and Web versions would be counted as "1 serial title", "1 computer file title", and "1 Internet title"; the volumes would be counted as "n serial volumes" and "n computer file volumes"; do not count any volumes for Internet resources as we are not looking to see when each issue is put up on the Website.

Where multiple copies of a document are ordered, to be split among more than one branch or working collection, count the titles and volumes under each branch even though they share a single bib record. We need this information for an accurate count of how many titles and volumes are unique within a single collection or library.
Count Working Collection titles/volumes as though they were from a single branch. Do not distinguish between different departmental collections.

If you catalog materials which do not fit any of the categories listed on the statistics recording form (posters, equipment, etc.), report these via an email to the Dept. Head.
Copies destined for branch or working collection locations should be counted as books under the proper location.

ETDs are counted as titles only, without a volume count.
NCSU theses/dissertations destined for D.H. Hill locations, including Special Collections, should be counted under Theses as a title/volume and Special Collections as a volume (eg. 2 copies of a thesis get one title count under Theses and one volume count under each of Theses and Special Collections.
Copies destined for branch or working collection locations should be counted as book titles and volumes under the proper location. Where there is accompanying material, this should be counted as a volume under the appropriate category.
