but with a different title for the collection. Since
both a multi-volume book and a book both occurr withing a
series element, and since both take titles with a
level of "s," there is not way to determine if the title
should be italicized. For this reason, I use the "rend"
attribute. When "rend" has a value of "mutliVolume" or no
value at all, the series element is part of a multi-volume
work as defined by Chicago Style
Manual.
