1A2. Sources of information
Take information recorded in this area from the title page . Enclose information recorded from any other source in square brackets, and indicate its source in a note. For special provisions relating to single-sheet publications , see 1F.
Record the data in the prescribed order, subject to the limitations stated in these rules. Generally do not use the mark of omission to indicate transposition.
Omit, without using the mark of omission, information found on the title page that constitutes neither title information nor a statement of responsibility. Such information may include pious invocations, devices, announcements, epigrams, dedications, mottoes, statement of patronage, prices, etc. (cf. 0E ). Use the note area to record or describe this kind of information if it is considered important. If such information is an inseparable part (see 1B1 ) of one of the elements of the title and statement of responsibility area, however, transcribe it as such. If such information constitutes the only title-like information present in the source, it may be used as a supplied title according to the provisions of 1B5.
When the volume is part of a multivolume monograph, and the title page gives a statement of the volume or part number within the larger work, omit this statement without using the mark of omission, unless it is an inseparable part (cf. 1B1 , 1B4 ) of the information being transcribed. Do transcribe statements such as "in two volumes," however (cf. 1D3 ).
