Rule 25.9A applied to 1. partial collections of three or more works in two or more forms when the author writes in two or more forms and 2. partial collections of three or more works in one form when the author writes in only one form.

Restrict the application of the second condition to well-established authors whose works are known to exist in only one form. For the purpose of applying 25.9A and 25.10A, assume that the authors have written in two or more forms.

Assign the collective uniform title "Selections" to a partial collection of non-musical works covered by 25.9A if the title proper of the collection is inadequate (cf. LCRI 25.10). If the works in the collection are translations, see LCRI 25.11.

(Note: For the period 1981-1990, the collective uniform title "Selections" was routinely assigned to partial collections of works in more than one form. On records for multipart items created before 1991, continue to accept the collective uniform title "Selections" although its use may not be in accord with current policy.)

When using the collective uniform title "Selections," make the same additions that are applicable when using the collective uniform title "Works" (LCRI 25.8). (Exception: Do no make these additions when applying 25.34B.)

For partial collections of musical works, apply 25.34B-25.34C. For partial collections of works by a person who has written both musical and literary works, see LCRI 25.10.
