12.7A2. Note Area
Linking Notes:
In notes referring to another serial (i.e., linking notes), cite the entry under which the serial appears in the catalog against which the searching and cataloging is done. For legal works and translations that are entered under uniform title, construct the linking notes as follows:
main entry name heading/uniform title/title proper.
main entry uniform title heading/title proper.
Do not include other title information or statements of responsibility in linking notes. Exception: In cases in which the title proper of the related serial is the name of a body and other title information has been supplied to indicate the type or nature of the publication (see 1.1E6), include also the other title information in the link.
If the note cites a main entry heading, give the heading in AACR2 form. If the main entry heading on the catalog record for the related serial is not in AACR2 form, change it to the AACR2 form.
If the related serial is not represented in the catalog, cite in the note the entry that would be used were the related serial cataloged under AACR2.
When specific information regarding a related work is unknown, give general information in a note.
Searching for Linking Note Information:
LC practice: Generally, do not do research beyond the catalog against which the searching and cataloging is done when gathering information for a linking note.
