In cases where we find the analytic has already been cataloged separately, the LKR field can be used to connect them. Does everyone know how to do this? (my bet is "no", but I want someone to ask so I know you are reading this!!)

NASA Conference Publications: approx 95% have records in Aleph already. A few items are bound together, some are large enough to be in 2 pieces per title. Idea to go ahead and analyze. NASA technical Memorandum: We have 14,235 records in Aleph for this series in Aleph, 14,219 with the series note, 2 which were created on the fly when they circulated. We have #952-5000ish nearly complete, plus 25 lin. ft. of items between #5000 and #89065. Bound volumes contain about 8-14 items per volume. NASA Technical notes: We have #1-8529 near complete. 431 records are in Aleph, 13 were created on the fly. NASA Contractor Reports: We have #1-4744 complete with 7 lin. ft. for #4745-176012. We have 12,156 records in Aleph, 14 created on the fly. Each volume contains about 5-10 items per volume. These are exceptions to the norm.
