from Monica: re. transcribing the title as is, if the title on the custom edition is identical to the standard edition and, if the user does a title or author *browse* search, there is greater potential for confusion. We often have both versions of the textbook (custom and standard). Many users will look for textbooks using a browse-type search since textbooks on syllabi are known item searches. Often users don't look at the bib record, especially details like the edition.
As some of you know, I have been adding into my 245s [custom edition for NYC College of Technology] so these records stand out. I know it's not proper cataloging practice but it seems to be helpful on the public services end of things.

I'm cataloging something similar to a custom ed., a CRAM 101 version of a textbook, and found this documentation helpful.
