We currently use the term "Anthology" for this, and there is an option to select that when adding a book.

There is some debate over the terminology, maybe "Omnibus" would be better:

From LibraryThing:
Quote:
OMNIBUS (noun) : a volume of reprinted works of a single author or of works related in interest or theme.
e.g. a book of supernatural stories by Roald Dahl. A complete content of each book is used. An omnibus contained several complete books by one author.

ANTHOLOGY (noun) : a book or other collection of selected writings by various writers usually in the same literary form, of the same period, or on the same subject. e.g. a book of poetry by various poets selected from several books by many poets.

COLLECTION (noun) : a book of selected writings from various books by an author of the same theme or various themes. e.g. a book of selected short stories from various books by the same
author.

Note that on 45worlds, anthology type books are not linked in any special way, ie the books that make up the anthology are not treated as individual books in the database.
