<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">I think the confusion is the name -- conjoined items. Rather than joining multiple items, you are joining multiple bib records to one item/barcode. Some ILSs call this functionality some version of "bound with".</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">One use is for when a library has bound titles together in house that were published separately. They want to maintain the separate bib records but they need one barcode for circulation since there is one physical item. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">It also can be used for pre-loaded devices like Kindles, where you have a number of separately published titles on the device with one barcode to check out. You use the conjoined items to have a separate bib record for each title and join them together on the one barcode.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">Elaine</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">J.
