Entries for Works (4):
Added entries for works reflect the type of main entry heading of the work being referenced in the tracing and may be of two types: analytical and simple. Whenever the entry is made to provide access to the substance of a work contained within the item being cataloged, it should be analytical. If the entry serves only to provide access to a related work that is not contained in the item being cataloged, it should be simple. Example:
If a map is accompanied by a text with a distinctive title, which is also significant or "independent" enough to be considered for cataloging in its own right, an analytical entry is usually made for the accompanying text. Example:
When the item being cataloged is taken from another work, a simple entry may be made for the item from which the map is taken.
A simple related work added entry may be made for an item upon which the map being cataloged is based.
When formulating an analytic title added entry a uniform title must be used and therefore no "other title information" can be included. Examples:
A title proper is always traced, (5) whether or not it is required for additional subject access unless the item is cataloged using title entry.
Any alternate title cited in the cataloging record will be traced if it differs from the title proper in the first five words.
Parallel titles may be traced if considered significant or distinctive.
A title may be traced in part, beginning in the middle of the title if necessary, to being out distinctive terminology, or to increase subject access. It is preferred, but not mandatory, to begin a partial title tracing at some point where there may be typographic or other indication that the portion of the title to be traced might be considered a distinct segment of the title.
