Module 7. Variant Titles and Title Added Entries (fields 246, 700-730)
Access to titles is given in a number of ways in serial records. In addition to providing access to the title proper as recorded in field 245, the serials cataloger often needs to provide access to other forms of the title proper in the form of variant titles which are given in field 246. When a serial has a separately titled section or is related to another work, a title added entry may be given in field 730, 700, 710, or 711, depending on the appropriate entry.
