13.3. Analysis of Monographic Series and Multipart Monographs
Series:
When a publication in a monographic series that is analyzed in full lacks a title other than that of the comprehensive title or has a title that is dependent on the comprehensive title, prepare a separate bibliographic record for that part, regardless of whether the part is numbered or not. Apply the following when preparing the record.
1. Transcribe the comprehensive title as the common title of the analytic.
2. If there is numbering only, transcribe the numbering as the section title; if there is numbering and also a dependent title, transcribe the numbering as enumeration (cf. 12.1B6) and the dependent title as the section title; of there is a dependent title but no numbering, transcribe the dependent title as the section title.
3. Do not formulate a series statement for the analytic record; instead, provide an additional access point in the form of an explicitly traced series added entry.
Multipart Monographs:
1. Classified separately. When a part of a multipart monograph that is classified separately lacks a title other than that of the comprehensive title or has a title that is dependent on the comprehensive title, prepare a separate bibliographic record for that part, regardless of whether the part is numbered or not. Apply the following when preparing the record:
a. Transcribe the comprehensive title as the common title of the analytic.
b. If there is numbering only, transcribe the numbering as the section title; if there is numbering and also a dependent title, transcribe the numbering as enumeration or alphabetic designation and the dependent title as the section title; if there is a dependent title but no numbering, transcribe the dependent title as the section title.
c. Do not formulate a series statement for the analytic record; instead, provide an additional access point in the form of an explicitly traced series added entry.
1. Mixture of independent and dependent titles. If a multipart monograph consists of parts whose individual titles are a mixture, i.e., some are independent of the comprehensive title and some are dependent on it, prepare a series authority record and use a regular series statement in the records of the analytics with independent titles.
For the analytics with dependent titles, use the technique described in 1. above, i.e., do not use a series statement on the record for the analytic
2. All titles dependent titles: unnumbered. If tall the titles of the parts are dependent on the comprehensive title and the multipart monograph is unnumbered, for the analytics transcribe the comprehensive title as the common title and the title of the part as a section title. Do not prepare a series authority record.
2. Classified as a collection. If classified as a collection, generally do not prepare a bibliographic record for a part that lacks a title other than that of the comprehensive title or has a dependent title.
a. Part lacks its own title. If a contents note is being or has been made, use the statement "[without special title]" (cf. LCRI 2.7B18 ).
b. Part has dependent title. If a contents note is being or has been made, list the title in it.
