When is the Larger Work Citation element used?

Sometimes an item is published as part of a larger volume. For example, a map or article originated by John Jones might be published in a book compiled by Charlene Smith. The citation for the map or article item would include Jones as the originator, the date of the item, the title of the item, etc.

To obtain a copy of the item, however, one would need to find the published book. The citation of the book would include Smith as the compiler, the publication date of the book, the title of the book, etc. This information about the book in which the item was published is the Larger Work Citation.
