Thanks to all who responded to my questions regarding detailed holdings
and barcode linking for microforms.  It seems that at this point in
time microform detailed holdings are handled in pretty much a free
form way.  I will use the information you have provided to come up
with a method for maintaining detailed holdings that is both clear for
the user and also time efficient for the staff.  Barcode linking of
microforms does not appear to be the norm but where it is done the
number of pieces of fiche for instance that comprise a bibliographic
volume are not included in the record.

Once again your time and thought in responding to these questions is
greatly appreciated.
