Title Proper
Ø Title proper is a CORE ELEMENT
Title proper is the
chief name of a resource. It is the
focus for identifying the preferred source of information. An alternative title is treated as part of
the title proper. The title proper
excludes any parallel titles proper, other title information, and parallel
other title information.
This data is recorded in MARC field 245 $a $n $p
P Look at instruction 2.3.2
Sources: If the information
does not appear on a source forming part of the resource itself, take it from
one of the following sources (in order of preference):
a) accompanying material (e.g., a
leaflet, an “about” file)
b) a container that is not issued as
part of the resource itself (e.g., a box, case made by the owner)
c) other published descriptions of
the resource
d) any other available source (e.g.,
a reference source)
P Look at instruction 2.3.1.4
·
Transcribe a title as it appears on the source
of information. Apply the general guidelines
on transcription given in 1.7.
·
Do
not correct errors for monographs.
·
Do
not record “[sic]” or [i.e., …]”; instead, give a note to explain.
·
Do correct errors for serials and
integrating resources.
Examples:
AACR2
record for a monograph:
245 $a Teusday’s [i.e.
Tuesday’s] tasks
RDA
record for this monograph:
245 $a Teusday’s tasks
246 $i Corrected title: $a Tuesday’s tasks
RDA
record for a serial:
245 $a Zoology studies
246 $i Misspelled title on number 1: $a Zooology studies
Parallel Title Proper
Ø Parallel title proper is
a CORE ELEMENT for LC
A parallel title
proper is the title proper in another language and/or script. An alternative title in
another language and/or script is treated as part of the parallel title proper. An original title in a language different
from that of the title proper that is presented as the equivalent of the title
proper is treated as a parallel title proper.
This data is recorded in MARC field 245 $b
P Look at instruction 2.3.3
Sources: The source for parallel title proper
has been expanded to include any source within the resource.
Record a parallel title proper applying the basic
instructions on recording titles given under 2.3.1.
Ø
Remember that 2.3.1 instructs you to “Transcribe
a title as it appears on the source of information. Apply the general
guidelines on transcription given under 1.7.”
Ø Other title information
is a CORE ELEMENT for LC
Other title information
is information that appears in conjunction with, and
is subordinate to, the title proper of a resource. It may include any
phrase appearing with a title proper that is indicative of the character,
contents, etc., of the resource or the motives for, or occasion of, its
production, publication, etc. Other title information includes subtitles, variant-titles, etc., but does not include variations on the title proper such as
spine titles, sleeve titles, etc. or designations and/or names of parts,
sections, or supplements. Other title information may be supplied for cartographic
resources and moving image resources.
This data is recorded in MARC field 245 $b
P Look at instruction 2.3.4
Record other title information appearing on the same source
of information as the title proper applying the basic instructions on recording
titles given under 2.3.1.
2.3.6 addresses variant titles, and LCPS 2.3.6.3
provides important guidance on the recording of variant titles in the MARC
record. This LCPS is very similar to RI 21.30J.
For integrating resources, serials, or
multipart monographs, there are sometimes earlier or later titles proper which
relate to changes of the title proper of the same resource over time. Instructions for these situations are in 2.3.7
and 2.3.8.
Ø Statement of responsibility relating to
title proper is a CORE ELEMENT. If there is more than one statement of
responsibility relating to the title proper, only the first is required. Other
statements of responsibility are optional.
A statement of responsibility is a statement relating to the
identification and/or function of any persons, families, or corporate bodies
responsible for the creation of, or contributing to the realization of, the
intellectual or artistic content of a resource.
This data is recorded in MARC field 245 $c
P Look at instruction 2.4.1
Sources: Take statements of
responsibility relating to title proper from the following sources (in order of
preference):
a) the same source as the title proper
b) another source within the resource itself
c) one of the other sources of information
specified under 2.2.4
Square brackets are needed only when data is taken from
outside of the resource.
Transcribe a statement of
responsibility in the form in which it appears on the source of information. Apply
the general guidelines on transcription given under 1.7.
LCPS 2.4.1.4 states: “Generally do not abridge
a statement of responsibility.”
Example:
Source
reads: Dr. Logan Carroll, Harvard Medical
School
RDA/LCPS say: 245 … / $c Dr. Logan
Carroll, Harvard Medical School
RDA allows: 245 … /
$c Dr. Logan Carroll.
The AACR2 “Rule of Three”
is not part of RDA. RDA 2.4.1.5
directs you to record the persons, families, or corporate bodies named in the
resource. It is only an option to
omit all but the first of each group and indicate the omission by summarizing (in
English) what has been omitted (do not record “[et al.]”).
Ø However,
LC does not generally apply this option. The LCPS clearly states:
“Generally do not omit names
in a statement of responsibility.”
Example:
Source reads: by Susan Brown, Melanie Carlson,
Stephen Lindell, Kevin Ott, and Janet Wilson.
AACR2: 245 $a … / $c by Susan Brown … [et al.].
RDA allows: 245 $a … / $c by Susan Brown [and four
others].
RDA/LCPS say: 245 $a … / $c by Susan Brown,
Melanie Carlson, Stephen Lindell, Kevin Ott, and Janet Wilson.
RDA 2.4.2:
“If more than
one statement of responsibility relating to title proper appears on the source
of information, only the first recorded is required.”
