Mr. Stapp:
A subject search for heading Tables of Contents in Library Literature will
retrieve most of the major papers that bear on this subject. I have read
most of them, except for the papers in German, and they all lead to each
other at some point.
You might also consider looking at the bibliography provided at the end
of Blackwell's "Tables of Contents Catalog Enrichment Guide" at
http://www.blackwell.com/downloads/TOCEnrichment.pdf. You'll notice the same
cluster of citations.
But for an alternative view, consider looking at the articles that
result from the subject search for heading Cataloging/Analytic entry in
Library Literature. Consider reading the papers by Herbert Hoffman,
especially his "Evaluation of three record types for component works in
analytic online catalogs" from Library Resources and Technical Services and
Anthony Schimizzi's more recent paper "Enhancement of Research Library Print
Material Through the Use of Component Cataloging: An OCLC User's
Perspective," which appeared in Cataloging and Classification Quarterly.
Just as interesting is the related work from the REUSE+ project (see
http://www.allegro-c.de/formate/reusep.htm).
