25.5B. (Conflict) Monographs

In this section:

LC practice:

1. Single-volume monograph or not-analyzed multipart item:

a. Conflict in the database. If the main entry is the same as the main entry of another work represented by a bibliographic record or name/series authority record, do not assign a uniform title to either work simply to distinguish them, even if there are multiple editions of either work.

Example

b. Needed for subject or related work added entry. If the main entry is the same as the main entry of another work represented by a bibliographic record or name/series authority record, construct a uniform title consisting of the title proper plus a parenthetical qualifier.

i) Determine the qualifier according to the guidelines below in 2.a. for title proper main entry or 3.a. for name heading main entry.

ii) Change existing records in which the work appears as an access point (main entry, added entry, subject heading).

Example

c. Another manifestation requiring a uniform title. If the main entry of the original is the same as the main entry of another work represented by a bibliographic record or name/series authority record, construct a uniform title for the original consisting of the title proper plus a parenthetical qualifier. Then assign a uniform title to the manifestation (cf. AACR2 25.5C for translations, AACR2 25.6B3 for excerpts, etc.).

i) Determine the qualifier for the original according to the guidelines below in 2.a. for title proper main entry or 3.a. or name heading main entry.

ii) Change existing records in which the original work appears as an access point (main entry, added entry, subject heading).

Example

2. Analyzed multipart item entered under a title proper:

a. Conflict in the database. If the title proper of the multipart item is the same as the title proper of another work represented by a bibliographic record or a name/series authority record, construct a uniform title made up of the title proper plus a parenthetical qualifier.

i) Use judgment in determining the most appropriate qualifier. Possible qualifiers are given in the following list; the listing is not prescriptive and is not in priority order.

$image\POINT_BL.gif$ date of publication ( FN 5)

$image\POINT_BL.gif$ descriptive data elements, e.g., edition statement, GMD, physical medium

$image\POINT_BL.gif$ place of publication ( FN 6)

Example

ii) If none of these qualifiers is appropriate, use any word(s) that will serve to distinguish the one work from the other. Use more than one qualifier if needed to make the uniform title unique.

b. Needed for subject or related work added entry. Use the heading in the series authority record for that multipart item.

c. Another manifestation requiring a uniform title. Use the heading in the series authority record for the original multipart item. Then assign a uniform title to the manifestation (cf. AACR2 25.5C for translations, AACR2 25.6B3 for excerpts, etc.).

3. Analyzed multipart item entered under a name heading:

a. Conflict in the database. If that name heading/title proper of the multipart item is the same as the name heading/title proper of another work represented by a bibliographic record or a name/series authority record, construct a uniform title made up of the title proper plus a parenthetical qualifier.

i) Use judgment in determining the most appropriate qualifier. Possible qualifiers are given in the following list; the listing is not in priority order.

$image\POINT_BL.gif$ date of publication ( FN 7)

$image\POINT_BL.gif$ descriptive data elements, e.g., edition statement, GMD, physical medium

$image\POINT_BL.gif$ place of publication ( FN 8)

Example

ii) If none of these qualifiers is appropriate, use any word(s) that will serve to distinguish the one work from the other. Use more than one qualifier if needed to make the uniform title unique.

b. Needed for subject or related work added entry. Use the heading in the series authority record for that multipart item.

4. Collective uniform title headings "Works" and "Selections": NAR and SAR for different multipart items:

LC/PCC practice: To break the conflict between headings created per LCRIs for rules 25.8 and 25.9, add a brief form of the publisher's name in subfield $s of the series authority record (even if that means revising a heading in an existing record). If there is still a conflict, add a parenthetical qualifier at the end of subfield $s.

Example

Exception: LC music practice for analyzed multipart items with uniform title heading "Selections": Subfield $f is not used to break a conflict between music headings. Instead, add a parenthetical qualifier at the end of subfield $t. Use judgment in determining the most appropriate qualifier; give the qualifier in a brief form.

Examples

5. Generally avoid use of the terms "print" and "text" as qualifiers because they are vague and there is not a consensus as to their appropriate use. When breaking the conflict between separate headings for the same title published in multiple physical media, add a qualifier to the heading for the physical medium that isn't printed text on paper (even if that means assigning a qualifier to a heading in an existing record).
