However, the 776 field does not just have to be a note field; with most online catalogs, libraries can index this field however they like and have it display to the public with whatever display labels they feel would best convey the meaning of this field as it is used in their catalogs. At UCSD we use the Innovative software for our online catalog and we index the $x of the 776 in our standard number index. We just added it to this index last year, Innovative is pretty flexible about what they will allow you to index.

This is somewhat in keeping with a set record that has separate ISBN numbers for each volume in the set and the record has multiple 020 fields with the volume number in parentheses following the specific ISBN.
