Instance - Resource title




Instance - Alternative title




Instance - Alternative title with specific type (e.g., uniform title)
I want to be able to search for all the instances of a particular named work, regardless of contributor, for example, find all instances with the uniform title "Symphonie fantastique".
Instance - Contributor
As a cataloger I need to find all of the titles owned by my library by a particular literary author in order to determine the correct book number (cutter) for the call number. I need to search for a single exact contributor, e.g., "Steinbeck, John" and only retrieve instances that have "Steinbeck, John" as a contributor, not those with, e.g., "Steinbeck, Susan" and "Smith, John" as contributors.
Instance - Title (all) + Contributor


Instance - Alternative title -uniform title + primary Contributor
As a cataloger I need to find all the instances owned by my library that represent a particular work in order to determine the correct book number (cutter) for the call number. For example, I'd like to be able to search for all instances with the exact Uniform title "Symphonies" and the exact Contributor "Beethoven, Ludwig van, 1770-1827".
