[Classweb-users] BR45 vs. BR53

[Casey A Mullin]

Hello CW,

I am having a difficult time ascertaining the scope of these two 
numbers. My work is a compilation of theological writings/Christian 
literature spanning all time periods. It is a multivolume work, so my 
first inclination was to use BR45. however, the caption at BR53 is 
"Selections (Several authors)". Many of these texts are excerpts of 
larger works, so this number would be appropriate as well.

A look at the LC shelflist is not incredibly illuminating, except to 
show that BR45 has been used quite a bit more often, mostly for large 
analyzed sets.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Casey

"Those who need structured and granular data and the precise retrieval that results from it to carry out research and scholarship may constitute an elite minority rather than most of the people of the world (sadly), but that talented and intelligent minority is an important one for the cultural and technological advancement of humanity. It is even possible that if we did a better job of providing access to such data, we might enable the enlargement of that minority."
