BACKGROUND:  This instruction provides guidelines on shelflisting editions.  For general procedures on the cataloging of editions, see D 450.  For procedures on the assignment of subject headings, see H 175.  For information on classifying editions, see F 320 .

1.  Editions with the same author and title

If subsequent editions of the same work have the same author, title, and classification number, assign the same Cutter as the previous edition(s).  Add a date to the call number to make a distinction between editions.

Examples:

HF5826.5 .B37

Barban, Arnold M.

Essentials of media planning ... c1976.

HF5826.5 .B37 1987

Barban, Arnold M.

Essentials of media planning ... -- 2nd ed. -- c1987.

HF5826.5 .B37 1993

Barban, Arnold M.

Essentials of media planning ... -- 3rd ed. -- c1993.

2.  Editions with the same author with title variations

If subsequent editions of a work have the same author and classification number, but the title changes, assign the same Cutter as the previous edition(s).  The cataloger should have added a note to the bibliographic records indicating the variant titles.

Examples:

TX907 .C65

Collin, Richard H.

The New Orleans underground gourmet ... 1970.

TX907 .C65 1973

Collin, Richard H.

The revised New Orleans underground gourmet ... 1973.

Published in 1970 under title:  The New Orleans underground gourmet.

3.  Changes in authorship and/or title

If the authorship and/or title of a work changes from one edition to another, but the classification number remains the same, maintain the same Cutter number.

Example:

TL448 .B18 B585

Bishop, Mike.

BMW, 500-1000cc twins, 1970-1978 ... / by Mike Bishop ... -- 1st ed. -- 1978.

TL448 .B18 B585 1979

Bishop, Mike.

BMW 500-1000cc twins, 1970-1979 ... / by Mike Bishop ... -- 2nd ed. -- c1979.

TL448 .B18 B585 1982

Bishop, Mike.

BMW 500-1000cc twins, 1970-1980 ... / by Mike Bishop ... -- 3rd ed. -- c1982.

Rev. ed. of: BMW 500-1000cc twins, 1970-1979. 2nd ed. c1979.

TL448 .B18 B585 1983

BMW 500-1000cc twins, 1970-1982 ... / Eric Jorgensen, editor. -- 4th ed. -- c1983.

Rev. ed. of:  BMW 500-1000cc twins, 1970-1980 / Mike Bishop. 3rd ed. c1982.

If the authorship of a work changes from the pre-AACR 2 edition, but the classification number remains the same, Cutter the new edition from the new form of the name.

4.  Changes in title

If a new edition of a work entered under title has a different title from the previous edition that was processed prior to the implementation of AACR 2, but the classification numbers remain the same, Cutter for the new title.  The cataloger should have added a note to the bibliographic records indicating the variant titles.

Example:

RD98 .M36 1975

Management of surgical complications ... -- 3rd ed. -- 1975.

First and 2nd editions published under title:  Complications in surgery and their management, are entered under Artz, Curtis Price.

RD98 .C65 1981

Complications in surgery and their management. -- 4th ed. -- 1981.
