Rebecca, I'm trying to figure out what kind of data element Part is, at
least in MARC terms. Is it a title modifier, the way that Volume is a
modifier on a series statement? And how does this Part differ from the
partNumber and partName in the titleInfo area? Couldn't the title field be:
<titleInfo>
<title>Journal of Blotz</title>
<partName>Volume</partName>
<partNumber>3</partNumber>
<partName>Number</partName>
<partNumber>13</partNumber>
</titleInfo>
