The following recommended policy was developed jointly by the Circulation Standards Committee and the Cataloging Standards Committee.

The Circulation Standards Committee opposes the practice of splitting up the features/bonus disc from the movie disc(s) and circulating them independently. There have been numerous complaints regarding the negative impact this practice has on patron service. This policy refers only to non-episodic titles from a single package that contains the film itself and material not present in the theatrical release (interviews, deleted scenes, etc.). A DVD set of this description will be circulated as a single item.

Do not create separate item records for bonus discs on bibliographic records for non-episodic DVD titles that contain bonus discs.

Note: When the bibliographic record uses a volume number in either the 245 title field or in a 490/8xx field, DO NOT use an item volume field.
