What if the book I want to request is a multi-volume work (not a series)

If it was published/released as a single unit, we would just create one record for it. Does it have an ISBN?
Thank you, Scott, for the speedy response.
So, turns out GoodReads has a post for the book I was considering requesting, but only for Vol 1.
All 7 vols were published by the same publisher, on the same date, as a set, not as a series. It is basically one giant book (we have many such books, commentaries and stuff, and a few novels even, that have volumes rather than being part of a series, in Urdu, Persian, and Arabic).
For a separate post, I would post a request; for this, shall I request an adjustment of sorts?

So I wanted to ask about if the book addition I want to request is a multivolume work (not a series). Should it be requested as a series or as a single work with mention that it has this many volumes and a combined number of pages?
