This event caused by a new policy of "NACSIS-CAT", the online cataloging system, in which nationwide university libraries are participated. NACSIS-CAT form the basis for [KUSearch] and [OtherUniv].
Previously, bibliography showing the same material on a certain basis was integrated and displayed, but now it will give priority to show the content of each bibliography and be displayed separately.
In addition, before volume information such as "first volume", "middle volume", and "second volume" was displayed on one bibliography, but now it is displayed as a separate bibliography except for some of classic books.
However, the bibliography, including "first volume", "middle volume", and "second volume" created before August 2020 will not be recreated as a separate bibliography. Besides, another bibliography may be created by differences in volume information.
In [KUSearch], it may be presented as "Recommended Access" in the "Related Information" area on the right side of the "Bibliography Details" screen in case there are similar bibliography.
