Confusion in Data entry, Help
We are using Libsys Software in our Library
I have a confusion regarding data entry
If i have two book of the same title, same author, Same ISBN, same edition but Different publication year (copyright year)
Then my question is do i have to make a different entry for each title coz it has different year of publication
or can i just add a the accession number to the existing book details?

If the editions of the books is different you should make a different entry but if you have a reprint of the book you just add copys and change the accession no. only.

What about the year of publication (Copyright year) it is different, which year should be used the latest or the first one?
the two books have different copyright year.

from my idea: no need to make a new entry, just mention in note section. c2000 (Accession no.)

if the the pagination of the book is same, then you should add the book as copy of your existing entry and mention the copyright year in note section as babel sir told. But if the pagination is different, you should treat it as new edition and make new entry and add "Rev ed" in the eddition section. e.g. 5th rev ed. and make note for the previous entry. as "5th ed. 2009."

Yes, in case of single vol book, you have make a different entry for each title. In multi vol. there is no need to separate entry just enter in note area.
