If the source of the varying title recorded in a 246 field is not one of those represented by values 4-8, the source may be explicitly recorded in an $i subfield that precedes the title data:

246 1# $i Source as supplied by cataloger: $a Varying form of title

2. Scope:

The guidelines in the following subsections represent an attempt to standardize, to a certain extent, practice in giving additional title added entries. They address varying forms of title other than those related to the title proper. They are not meant to be an exhaustive treatment. Apply cataloger’s judgment to situations not addressed here. When a single title exhibits several conditions, limit the additional title added entries to those judged to be most useful.

a. General guideline. Make 246-derived title added entries more or less automatically for cover titles, parallel titles, and added title page titles when they are significantly different from the title proper. LC practice: Be more restrictive about caption titles, half titles, running titles for monographs, and other title information. Generally, make added entries for these only if one of the following is true:

1. the work was also published under the title;

2. the work is cited in reference sources under the title;

3. the title is given such prominence by typography or by other means that it is reasonable to assume that the publication may be known by it or that persons examining the item might think that it is the main title of the publication.

b. Source vs. type. In the 246 field, the categories for types of titles expressed by the second indicator are not mutually exclusive.

LC practice: In general, for titles from sources other than 245, for monographs, prefer to give the source using either:

$image\POINT_BL.gif$ one of the following second indicator values for source

4 Cover title

5 Added title page title

6 Caption title

7 Running title

8 Spine title

$image\POINT_BL.gif$ or subfield $i

Examples

$image\POINT_BL.gif$ instead of stating the "nature" of the title itself, e.g.,

1 Parallel title

2 Distinctive title

3 Other title

Thus, for a title from a source other than 245 that is also a particular kind of title, e.g., a parallel title, prefer its source over the fact that it is a parallel title:

Example

This does not preclude, however, also stating the "nature" of the title in subfield $i when judged appropriate:

Example

3. Alternate forms:

LC practice: With respect to making 246-derived title added entries for alternate forms (cf. Subsection 2 Alternate forms under the separate section "Guidelines for Making Title Added Entries for Permutations Related to Titles Proper"), use judgment on a case-by-case basis. If in doubt, do not make a 246-derived title added entry for a "variant of a variant."

4. Accompanying material:

Treat the title of an accompanying item as an independent title of a work contained within the item. Provide a title added entry using field 740 with indicator values 02 . In general, provide title access through varying forms of the title of an accompanying item in those cases judged to provide useful access, using the 740 02 field also as the means of stating any varying forms of independent titles.

Example

5. Added title page title:

Example:

100 1# $a Abbott, R.

245 14 $a The supply of liner shipping to Canada / $c by R. Abbott, Z. Mockus, N. Farinaccio.

246 15 $a Offre de transport maritime de ligne régulière au Canada

6. At head of title:

When title data appear at head of title, use a 246 field .

Example

When data other than title data appear at head of title that are to be combined with the title proper in an added entry, record the "at head of title" data in a 500 note , and provide the title added entry through a 246 3# field:

Example

7. Binder’s title:

If a binder’s title varies significantly from the title proper, record the title in 246 1# .

Example

LC practice: If a monograph has been bound only for LC’s collections (i.e., it was not bound by the publisher or it was not one of the multiple copies that were bound subsequent to publication as part of a cooperative acquisitions program), record only the note and not the added entry. In such a case, make the note a copy-specific one (LCRI 1.7B20), e.g., "LC copy has binder’s title: . . ." In case of doubt, do not assume that the item was bound only for LC.

8. Caption title:

Example:

100 1# $a Ettling, E. $q (Emile)

245 10 $a Suite de valses sur l’opéra L’Africaine de Meyerbeer / $c E. Ettling.

246 16 $a Africaine

9. Colophon title:

Examples:

$image\EXCOLOPH.gif$

100 1# $a Deng, Xiaoping, $d 1904-

240 10 $a Selections. $f 1983

245 10 $a Deng Xiaoping wen xuan, 1975-1982 nian . . .

246 1# $i Colophon title: $a Deng Xiaoping wenxuan

10. Corrected titles other than title proper: (cf. 1.0F1)

(For corrected titles proper see subsection 4. Corrected titles proper (cf. 1.0F1) under the separate section "Guidelines for Making Title Added Entries for Permutations Related to Titles Proper.")

In encountering titles other than title proper that contain an incorrect form of some kind, use judgment to determine when to give access to incorrect and/or corrected forms.

a. Titles of monographs corrected by "[i.e. ...]" and "[sic]." When either the "[i.e. ...]" or "[sic]" technique is used, make two title added entries: a 246-derived one for the title in its uncorrected form, and one in its correct form.

Example

b. Titles of monographs with missing letters. If the varying title contains a missing letter or letters, use one 246 field to provide a 246-derived title added entry for the variation as it appears in the source.

Example

c. Titles of serials and integrating resources. When the varying title has been transcribed in a corrected form without using brackets, also make a 246-derived title added entry for the varying title as it appears in the source.

Example

11. Cover title:

Example:

111 2# $a SPWD-NABARD Seminar on Economics of Wastelands Development $d (1984 : $c Suraj Kund, India)

245 10 $a SPWD-NABARD Seminar on Economics of Wastelands Development : $b proceedings of the seminar held at Suraj Kund on March 8th, 9th, 10th 1984 / $c sponsored by National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development ; editor, Kamal Sharma.

246 14 $a Economics of wastelands development

12. Distinctive title:

LC practice: Do not use for monographs.

13. Half title:

Example:

111 2# $a Bruckner-Symposion $n (8th : $d 1986 : $c Linz, Austria)

245 10 $a Bruckner Symposion . . .

246 1# $i Half title: $a Bruckner-Symposion Linz 1986

14. No title added entry derived from varying form of title data recorded:

There may be occasions when the information in a varying form of title is judged useful in aiding identification or showing the nature/scope of a work, but an added entry is judged not to be needed.

Example

15. Other title:

This category is available as a general kind of source not otherwise specified by another value in the second indicator position of 246. LC practice: Do not use for monographs; use subfield $i to state the specific location.

Example

16. Other title information from 245:

a. General.

Example:

111 2# $a Bruckner-Symposion $n (8th : $d 1986 : $c Linz, Austria)

245 10 $a Bruckner Symposion : $b Bruckner, Liszt, Mahler und die Moderne, im Rahmen des Internationalen Brucknerfestes Linz 1986, 17. -21. September 1986 : Bericht . . .

246 30 $a Bruckner, Liszt, Mahler und die Moderne

b. Acronym/initialism of full form of title proper of a serial or an integrating resource. When other title information consists of an acronym/initialism of the full form of the title recorded as the title proper in a bibliographic record for a serial or an integrating resource (rule 12.1B2), make a 246-derived title added entry for the acronym or initialism.

Example

17. Parallel titles:

If a title in another language appears prominently on the publication, make a 246-derived title added entry for it. (It does not matter if the source is an added title page or if there is text in the language of the title.)

In the 246 field, the categories for types of titles expressed by the second indicator are not mutually exclusive. LC practice: In general, for titles from sources other than 245, prefer, for monographs, to give the source (using either one of the second indicator values for source exclusive of values "2-3") or subfield $i instead of stating the "nature" of the title itself. Thus for a title from a source other than 245 that is also a parallel title, prefer its source over the fact that it is a parallel title.

a. Parallel title from 245.

Example:

100 1# $a Mossolow, N.

245 14 $a Die Geschichte von Namutoni $b = Die Verhaal van Namutoni = The history of Namutoni / $c N. Mossolow.

246 31 $a Verhaal van Namutoni

246 31 $a History of Namutoni

b. Parallel title from other than 245. Insure that the source is always indicated.

1. Indicate source by indicator.

Example:

100 1# $a Abbott, R.

245 14 $a The supply of liner shipping to Canada / $c by R. Abbott, Z. Mockus, N. Farinaccio.

246 15 $a Offre de transport maritime de ligne régulière au Canada

2. Indicate source by $i subfield.

Example:

100 1# $a Brander Jonsson, Hedvig, $d 1949-

245 10 $a Bild och fromhetsliv i 1800-talets Sverige / $c Hedvig Brander Jonsson.

246 1# $i Parallel title on p. [4] of cover: $a Picture and piety in 19th century Sweden

18. Running title:

Examples:

100 0# $a Gregory, $c of Nyssa, Saint, $d ca. 335-ca. 394.

240 10 $a Commentarius in Canticum canticorum

245 10 $a Gregorii Nysseni In Canticum canticorum . . .

Example:

100 1# $a Parmentier, Henri.

245 10 $a On vacation / $c [illustrations by Henri Parmentier].

246 18 $a Animal pals on vacation
