Module 4. Main and Added Entries (fields 100-111; 700-711)
The main entry can be a corporate body , jurisdiction, personal name, title, or uniform title . This module concentrates on the decision whether to enter a serial under corporate body or title. Personal name main entries are also covered, even though serials are rarely entered under person. Uniform titles for translations and other language editions and those assigned for conflicting titles are covered in Module 5 ; uniform titles for legal serials are covered in Part III.
This module discusses only "choice" of entry- -i.e., whether to enter under title, corporate body, or personal name. The "form" of a heading - -corporate, geographic, or personal- -is established according to the rules in AACR2 Chapters 22-24 and is covered in Module 18 .
When not given as the main entry, a corporate body or person (other than an editor ) may be given as an added entry . This module discusses when to make an added entry for a corporate body or person. Title and series added entries are covered in Modules 6 , 7 , and 12 . For changes in the main entry, see Module 16 .
