2.7B4. Variations in title
Option Decision:
Do not apply the optional provision of the rule.
Variant Titles:
If the variant title being recorded in a note appears in a source that meets the criteria for an added title page, record the note as "Title on added t.p." followed by a colon-space and the title. If the variant title appears in another source, specify its location (e.g., "Title on p. [4] of cover:"). There is no situation for which the notes "Added title." or "Added title:" or "Added t.p.:" are appropriate.
If a title in another language appears prominently on the publication, record the title in a note and make an added entry for it. (It does not matter if the source is an added title page or if there is text in the language of the title.)
Binder’s Title:
If a binder’s title varies significantly from the title proper of the item (cf. 21.2A), record it in a note and make an added entry for it. If a monograph has been bound only for LC’s collections (i.e., it was not bound by the publisher or it was not one of the multiple copies that were bound subsequent to publication as part of a cooperative acquisitions program), give only the note and not the added entry. In such a case, make a note a copy-specific one (LCRI 1.7B20 ), e.g., "LC copy has binder’s title: ..." In case of doubt, do not assume that the item was bound only for LC.
