26.5A. (Series) Types of See References

1. Give a name/title proper reference for the situations listed below. If the heading includes a parenthetical qualifier, do not include that qualifier when recording the title proper in the reference.

a. when a body responsible for the series is a noncommercial one or is a commercial one whose responsibility extends beyond that of merely publishing the series; in this context, consider university presses as "commercial";

Examples

b. when the name, an initialism/acronym, or part of the name of a corporate body is in the series title even if that body is not responsible for the series; however, do not make the reference if the body is a commercial publisher responsible only for publishing the series;

Example

c. when the title of a numbered series consists solely of a form of a corporate body's name whether or not that form of name is identical with the name of the corporate body given as the heading on the body's name authority record.

Examples

2. Give a reference from title proper when it differs from the uniform title except when the difference is the addition of a language name or a parenthetical qualifier.

Examples

b. Heading is name/title proper.

1. Give a reference from title proper.

Examples

2. Give a reference from name/title proper for another person or corporate body sharing responsibility for the series. (Generally, do not give a reference from a body when the heading is under a personal name.)

Example

c. Heading is name/uniform title.

1. Generally, give a reference from title proper.

Examples

2. Generally, give a reference from name/title proper when the title proper differs from the unifom title except when the difference is the addition of a language name, a date, or a parenthetical qualifier.

Examples

3. Give a reference from name/title proper for another person or corporate body sharing responsibility for the series. (Generally, do not give a reference from a body when the heading is under a personal name.)

Example

2. Variants of title proper in another source in same/another issue:

Give a reference from a variant title found in the same item or found in another item with the same series title proper. Construct the reference in the same form, title or name/title, that would be used as the heading; generally, do not give references that are variations of these references.

a. Parallel titles. Give references for all parallel titles. If the heading is a main series and subseries, use the same language, when present, for all parts of the parallel main series/parallel subseries reference(s).

Examples

b. Other titles. If important for access to the heading, give a reference from another form of the series title proper found on another source (e.g., on cover, on spine, on map panel, on label) of the same item or on another source of another item having the same series title proper.

Examples

3. Partial titles:

Construct the reference in the form, title or name/title, that would be used as the heading; generally, do not give references that are variations of these references.

a. Typographical prominence. Give a reference when part of the series title is given typographical prominence.

Example

b. Subseries or section title. Give a reference from the subseries or section title unless that title is dependent on the main/common title or is misleading without that title. Do not include a preceding designation in the reference.

Examples

c. Generic noun. Give a reference from the series title or subseries/section title omitting the introductory generic noun (e.g., Serie, Collection, Schriftenreihe) when that noun is followed by a noun or noun phrase. If the partial title reference would consist only of a proper name, add the qualifier "(Series)" to that reference.

Examples

d. Person's forename, initial, or title. When the series title begins with a person's forename(s), initial(s), or title, give a reference

$image\POINT_BL.gif$ from the surname and the remainder of the title;

$image\POINT_BL.gif$ from the forename(s) and/or initial(s) and surname and remainder of the title.

Example

4. Variations in title proper that are not "major changes" (applies only to monographic series, other serials, and series-like phrases):

When the title proper or series-like phrase found on an earlier or later issue differs from the form used in the heading, give a see reference from the earlier/later form if the difference does not constitute a major change (cf. AACR2 21.2C and LCRI 21.2C). Construct the reference in the form, title or name/title, that would be used as the heading; generally, do not give references that are variations of these references.

Examples

5. Fluctuating titles:

a. Different languages. If the language of the numbered monographic series title proper on later issues varies according to the language of the text, give a reference from the series title proper in the other language(s). (Cf. LCRI 21.2C.) However, if there are parallel editions in different languages, establish separate headings (cf. LCRI 1.6).

Example

b. Regular pattern. If the title proper on later issues of a monographic series varies according to a regular pattern, give a reference from that later title.

6. Other situations:

a. Substitutions. Use judgment when deciding whether a reference that is a modification of the form used in the heading (spelled out form for an abbreviation, word for symbol, word for numeral, arabic numeral for roman numeral, two words for compound word, initialism without periods for initialism with periods, etc.) is appropriate. Consider whether users might expect that form to have been the established form and whether the substitution would occur in the first five words. Construct the reference in the form, title or name/title, that would be used as the heading; generally, do not give references that are variations of these references.

Examples

b. Other title information. Give a reference from the other title information when it could be construed as the series title proper or subseries title. When an acronym or initialism of the title proper of a serial or an integrating resource is present (cf. AACR2 12.1B2), give a reference from the acronym or initialism.

Examples

c. Title of series/serial. Give a reference from the name of the main series (in its AACR2 form) and subseries when a subseries is not entered subordinately to the main series (cf. LCRI 1.6H).

Example 1

Give a reference from the name of the serial (in its AACR2 form) and title of series when the name of a serial is contained in the series title proper.

Example 2

d. Multipart item: change of title or change in person or body responsible. If the title proper changes (AACR2 21.2A1), give a reference from the later title. If the person or body responsible for the multipart item changes (AACR2 21.3A2), give a name/title proper reference from the later person or body.

e. Romanization/word division. Give a reference from a form representing another romanization or word division policy.

Example

f. Change in parenthetical qualifier not requiring a new record. If there is a change in parenthetical qualifier in the series heading and a new record is not required (cf. LCRI 25.5B), give a reference from the series title proper and the changed qualifier if it would help in identification.

Example

g. Introductory words to title proper. If introductory words to the title proper were not transcribed as part of the title proper in the heading (1.1B1), give a reference from the title including those words.

Example

h. Correction of title proper of a serial or an integrating resource. If the title proper in the heading has been transcribed in a corrected form (cf. AACR2 12.0F, 12.1B1), give a reference for the title as it appears on the serial or integrating resource.

Example

i. Pre-AACR2 form of heading. Optionally, include information about the pre-AACR2 form of heading in the series authority record. If there is a one-to-one relationship, give a reference from the pre-AACR2 form of heading and code subfield $w appropriately. If there is not a one-to-one relationship or if the reference normalizes to the same form as a heading or another reference, give the pre-AACR2 heading information in a note.

Examples

j. Miscellaneous. Give any other see reference not already mentioned if it is important for access to the heading.
