Durations
If the individual works in a collection are identified in the title and
statement of responsibility area, list the durations of the works in a note. If the
individual works are listed in a contents note (6.7B18), give their durations there.
Generally do not give more than six statements of duration in the note area.
If durations of more than six works in a collection are available from the item,
generally do not give any durations in the note area. More than six durations may be
given, however, if in the cataloger’s judgment they are especially important.
