Short story collection, and collections of essays (think Stephen J. Gould), 
are usually single items, although many libraries are now adding tables of 
contents to the bib records to help expose this sort of content via keyword 
searches at least.

Users would normally be expected to use some sort of external database to 
find a short story within a collection.  Things like Granger's Poetry Index 
and "Essay and General Literature Index" would point to individual collections.
