"Multipart item. A monograph complete, or intended to be completed, in a finite number of separate parts. The separate parts may or may not be numbered." "Serial. A continuing resource issued in a succession of discrete parts, usually bearing numbering, that has no predetermined conclusion." In series authority records, 008/12 has the values for "monographic series" vs. "multipart item".
