If a collection contains no more than three works, make an analytical added entry for each work (cf. LCRI 21.30M).

If a collection contains four or more works that are entered under no more than three different headings, apply the following:

1.   If one heading is represented by one work, make an analytical added entry for the work.

2.   If one heading is represented by one excerpt from one work, make an analytical added entry for it.

3.   If one heading is represented by two or more consecutively numbered excerpts from one work, make one analytical added entry (25.6B1).

4.   If one heading is represented by two unnumbered or nonconsecutively numbered excerpts from one work, make an analytical added entry for each excerpt (25.6B2).

5.   If one heading is represented by three or more unnumbered or nonconsecutively numbered excerpts from one work, make one analytical added entry (25.6B3).

6.   If one name heading is represented by two works, make an added entry for the name heading alone.

7.   If one personal name heading is represented by three or more works, make an analytical added entry using an appropriate collective uniform title (e.g., "Selections").

8.   If one corporate name heading is represented by three or more works, make an added entry for the name heading alone.

If a collection contains four or more works that are entered under four or more different headings, make an added entry for the person or body named first in the chief source.

Sound Recordings:

If a sound recording collection contains twenty-five or fewer musical works entered under two or more different headings, normally make up to fifteen entries according to the following instructions:

1.   If one heading is represented by one work, make an analytical added entry for the work.

2.   If one heading is represented by one excerpt from one work, make an analytical added entry for it (25.32A).

3.   If one heading is represented by two or more consecutively numbered excerpts from one work, make one analytical added entry (25.32B).

4.   If one heading is represented by two unnumbered or nonconsecutively numbered excerpts from one work, make one analytical added entry for each excerpt (25.32B).

5.   If one heading is represented by three or more unnumbered or nonconsecutively numbered excerpts from one work, make one analytical added entry (25.32B).

6.   If one name heading is represented by two works, make an analytical added entry for each work (25.33).

7.   If one personal name heading is represented by three or more works, make an analytical added entry using an appropriate collective uniform title (e.g., "Selections," "Piano music. Selections") (25.34).

Do not make analytical added entries for sound recording collections:

1.   containing twenty-five or fewer works that would require more than fifteen analytical added entries;

2.   containing pop, folk, ethnic, or jazz music;

3.   containing recitals with an orientation towards performer(s) or instrument(s) rather than musical repertoire;

4.   that are multipart items but incomplete at the time the collection is cataloged.
