collective titles en

Compound titles for a work that contain reference to both the part and the whole, or to two parts in a single title. In library cataloging, a collective title may be the title proper of a bibliographic item containing several works by one or more authors issued in a single volume or uniform set of volumes, each with its own title distinct from that of the whole. Also refers to the title assigned by a bibliographic cataloger to a group of separately published materials cataloged collectively.
