740 Added Entry - Uncontrolled Related/Analytical Title

Field definition and scope:

Field 740 is used for added entries for uncontrolled related titles and for uncontrolled analytical titles. Uncontrolled means that the title is not controlled through an authority file or another bibliographic record. The field may contain the title portion of a related work that would normally be entered under a name/title heading in catalog entry form. In records for collections lacking a collective title, added entries for titles recorded in field 245 (Title Statement) subsequent to the first title may be given in field 740. Uniform title added entries for related works and for analytical titles are recorded in field 730 (Added Entry - Uniform Title). Field 246 (Varying Form of Title) is used to record variant forms of the title recorded in field 245 and variants of the first title in field 245 for collections lacking a collective title.

The National level record requirement for this field is Mandatory if applicable.

Field 740 is repeatable.

Content designator history:

Field 740 - Added Entry - Uncontrolled Related/Analytical Title [redefined]

In 1993, field 740 was redefined. Prior to that time, the name of the field was "Added Entry - Variant Title." The field contained a form of the title that was different from the title proper portion of the title statement (field 245, subfields $a, $n, and $p) but that was not the uniform title for the work, in addition to the titles currently appropriate for field 740. With the redefinition of this field, varying forms of the title are to be recorded in field 246 (Varying Form of Title), and field 740 is to be limited to uncontrolled titles that are related to the title in field 245 or to uncontrolled titles for works contained in the item.

First indicator - Nonfiling characters

Value # - Nonfiling characters not specified [obsolete]

The number of character positions associated with a definite or indefinite article at the beginning of a title added entry that are disregarded in sorting and filing processes was not specified prior to the definitions of the first indicator position in 1979.

The interpretation of a # (blank) to indicate that the number of nonfiling characters is not specified was made obsolete in 1980. Pre-1979 records may contain a # (blank) meaning undefined in this position.

Second indicator - Type of added entry

Values 0 - Alternative entry (BK AM CF MP MU) [obsolete]

1 - Secondary entry (BK AM CF MP MU) [obsolete]

1 - Printed on card (VM) [obsolete]

3 - Not printed on card (VM) [obsolete]

In 1993, second indicator values 0 (Alternative entry) and 1 (Secondary entry) were made obsolete in the books, archival and manuscripts control, computer files, maps, and music specifications. Values 1 (Printed on card) and 3 (Not printed on card) were made obsolete in the VM specifications.

Subfields $n - Number of part/section of a work [defined]

$p - Name part/section of a work [defined]

Prior to the definition of subfields $n and $p in 1980, the number and/or name of a part/section of a work were not separately subfield coded.
