1.1G3.

Most such titles should be recorded as they appear (cf. "Le prince" example in 1.1G3).  Generally restrict the application of this rule to cases in which the secondary titles do not appear in the same source as the predominant title.

 

LC practice:  For cartographic materials, microforms, and rare books and other rare materials, describe the item as a unit or make a description for each separately titled work, whichever solution seems better in the particular situation.  For other materials, describe the item as a unit.

 

Punctuation:

The final sentence of this rule specifies that two spaces are to follow a period.  Instead, see LCRI 1.0C and apply that, which means following the period with one space.

Multiple Sources:

If there is no single chief source of information for a single part item and it is not possible to say which work is first, second, etc., transcribe them in English alphabetical order.

For materials such as books that normally confine the source for the title and statement of responsibility area to one location within the item, make a note to explain the situation when there is no single chief source for the single part item (e.g., "No collective t.p.; titles transcribed from individual title pages.").

Other Title Information:

If a single statement of other title information applies to all the titles listed, record it after all the titles if all the titles are by the same person(s) or body (bodies).  Precede the statement by a space-colon-space.  Otherwise, record it in a note.

chief source:  Party party // Girlfriends // two short novels by // Ronni Sandroff

transcription:  Party party ; Girlfriends : two short novels / by Ronni Sandroff

chief source:  Henry Esmond // Thackeray // Bleak House // Dickens // Two novels

transcription:  Henry Esmond / Thackeray. Bleak House / Dickens

note area:      "Two novels."

Statements of Responsibility:

If a single subsequent statement of responsibility applies to all the titles listed, record it after the final first statement of responsibility if possible.  Precede the subsequent statement by a space-semicolon-space.
