Added Entries for Works:

Added entries for works reflect the type of main entry heading of the work being cataloged in the tracing as follows:

Type of main entry:

Type of added entry:

Personal or corporate name heading

Uniform title

Uniform title (e.g., Bible)

Uniform title

The phrase "added entries for works" in these instructions is intended to encompass all the various types of added entries listed above.

Added entries for works are of two types: analytical and simple. They are made on the basis of various rules, some of which prescribe an analytical added entry in explicit terms, others of which do not. Whenever the added entry is made to furnish an access point to a work contained in the item being cataloged, it should be an analytical added entry (e.g., 21.7B1, 21.13B1, 21.19A1). If the added entry serves only to provide an approach to the item being cataloged through a related work, however, and the text of this work is not present in the item being cataloged, then a simple added entry for the work is appropriate (e.g., 21.12B1, 21.28B1, 21.30G1).

The relationship that is expressed between works by means of an added entry, either analytical or simple, is limited to a single access point, namely, that of the main entry. An added entry in the form of the main entry heading for a work provides the sole access to the work it represents in the tracing on the catalog record for another work; do not trace in addition any added entries for that work’s title (when main entry is under a name heading), joint author, editor, compiler, translator, etc.

Analytical Added Entries:

Formulate analytical added entries as follows:

Type of analytical added entry:

Components:

Name heading/title

Heading in catalog entry form plus uniform title

Title

Uniform title

Uniform title (e.g., Bible)

Uniform title

In addition, following the uniform title, provide the language (if appropriate). For the Bible and the collective uniform title "Works" and "Selections," provide the elements appropriate to these uniform titles as called for in the relevant rules and LCRIs: for the Bible, 25.18A; for "Works," LCRI 25.8; for "Selections," LCRI 25.9. Note that all of these specify including in the uniform title the year of publication of the item being cataloged.

In making analytical added entries, note specially the following details:

1. Do not abbreviate the names of languages.

2. For the Bible and the collective uniform titles noted above that include the year of publication, formulate the year according to the guideline states in LCRI 25.8.

3. Do not enclose uniform titles within brackets.

4. Do not give in the tracing a title found in the item being cataloged that is different from the uniform title.

Simple Added Entries:

Formulate simple added entries as follows:

Type of simple added entry:

Components:

Name heading/title

Heading in catalog entry form plus uniform title

Title

Uniform title (e.g., Beowulf)

Note that subject entries for works are formulated in the same manner as simple added entries.
