CONSER standard record practice:  It is not required to record, in the title and statement of responsibility area, other title information appearing on the serial issue used as the basis of the description.  Always record an acronym or initialism of the title proper in a 246 field.  Other title information which is not an acronym or initialism may be recorded in the 246 field if considered important for access.  If an existing record or data supplied by external sources has other title information in the title and statement of responsibility area, do not delete it.

CONSER minimal record practice:  If authority records are not being created or maintained for a person or body named in a statement of responsibility embedded in other title information on the serial issue, transcribe that other title information in the title and statement of responsibility area.  Otherwise, follow the guidelines for the standard record above.
