Solution

There are 4 different types of works.
∴ Number of arrangements of these 4 works, taken 4 at a time = 4!
Of these 4 works, two of the works with 3 volumes each can be arranged in 3! ways each and two of the works with 2 volumes each can be arranged in 2! ways.
Total number of arrangements  = 4! x (3! x 3!) x (2! x 2!) = 3456
