Policy Statements for Chapter 25: Related Works
LC-PCC PS for 25.0
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
Musical Works
LC practice/PCC practice: When an instrumental work or a compilation of instrumental works is based on, inspired by, etc., one or two individual literary works, provide an authorized access point for each related literary work. (For pre-existing texts of vocal works, see RDA 19.2.)
When an instrumental or vocal work or compilation is based on, inspired by, etc., one or two individual art works, provide an authorized access point for each related art work.
When an instrumental or vocal work or a compilation is based on, inspired by, etc., three or more works by the same author or artist or an author’s or artist’s oeuvre in general, provide an authorized access point for the author or artist.
EXAMPLE
Authorized Access Points for Series (Monographs, Serials, and Integrating Resources)
A. Scope of Policy Statement
LC practice: LC does not give "controlled" access points for series in new LC original cataloging bibliographic records, does not update series access points in existing bibliographic records, and does not consult, make, or update series authority records. LC will "pass through" the series information already in bibliographic records used by LC as copy.
PCC practice: Searching for series authority records, tracing the series, and the creation and maintenance of series authority records are optional. If the option is applied, follow sections B-I below as PCC practice.
All the material in the remainder of this Policy Statement assumes the series decision recorded on the series authority record is to "trace" the series. Unless a specific category is mentioned, the term "series" in this Policy Statement means any of these comprehensive items: monographic series, other serial, multipart monograph, integrating resource.
See RDA 2.12 and associated Policy Statement for information about series statements.
B. Integrating Resource in One or More Series
Also provide a MARC 8XX access point for any traced series on an earlier iteration.
EXAMPLE
same record updated later
264 #1 | $a Denver : $b Smith Publishing Company |
490 1# | $3 〈2000 〉: $a Library acquisitions |
490 1# | $3 〈1991 〉: $a Research in library acquisitions |
588 ## | $a Description based on: update 9, published in 2000. |
830 #0 | $a Research in library acquisitions. |
830 #0 | $a Library acquisitions (Denver, Colo.) |
C. Numbering Grammatically Integrated with Series Title
If the numbering, etc., of the series volume is grammatically integrated with the series title, in the MARC 8XX field omit the numbering from the title and record it in subfield $v.
EXAMPLE
D. More Than One System of Numbering
If more than one system of numbering is transcribed in the series statement, in the MARC 8XX field subfield $v give the numbering in the system specified in the series authority record.
E. Numbering Errors
If the number in the series statement was incorrect and the correct number was given in a note, give the correct number in the series authorized access point.
F. Number Preceded by One or More Letters
When the numbers of issues or parts in the same series are preceded by a letter or letters varying from issue to issue, omit the letter or letters from the MARC 8XX subfield $v.
When the only information available is from the one issue in hand, assume all items in that series will have the same letter(s) preceding the number until differing information is available. Record the letter(s) in MARC 8XX subfield $v.
G. Numbering for Publications of the U.S. Congress and Other Legislatures
In series authorized access points for publications of the U.S. Congress, give the numbering relating to the numbering of the Congress and Session as the first part of MARC 8XX subfield $v, followed by the number of the publication within that Congress and Session.
Transcribe the information for series publications of other legislatures as above if the situations are the same.
H. Main Series and Subseries
Main series is unnumbered.
1.
Do not give a separate authorized access point for the main series unless the main series has already appeared by itself on other publications. Instead, give one series authorized access point for the main series/subseries combination.
2.
If the main series appears on a later publication without any subseries, at that point construct an authorized access point for the main series separately and give this access point in the bibliographic record for this publication and any other publication showing only the main series. However, if later publications show both the main series and a subseries, use as the series authorized access point the form with the main series/subseries combination.
Main series is numbered. Give two series authorized access points: one for the main series and one for the main series/subseries combination.
Hierarchy of numbered and unnumbered main series/subseries. If a hierarchy of main series and multiple subseries is involved and only some are numbered, treat each according to the numbering status of the main series.
I. One or Several Series Authorized Access Points
Language editions
1.
Numbered series. Distinguish between series that are issued in two or more parallel editions (i.e., complete editions in each language for which separate authorized access points for each expression are appropriate) and those that are issued variously in two or more languages but for which no complete edition of the series exists in any language. If separate editions do not exist, construct a single series authorized access point, basing it on the first or earliest item in the series. If the first/earliest item itself is issued in several languages, choose the language of the preferred title proper according to RDA 2.2.3.1. In case of doubt, assume that a single edition exists.
2.
Unnumbered series. If the language of the title proper of the series varies, generally construct series authorized access points for each language form; give MARC 5XX fields for the other language forms.
Changes in numbering (addition, omission, etc.)
Consider that a single series exists if some issues are numbered, but one or more issues are unnumbered. Numbered/unnumbered issues are part of the same aggregate work, and use the same authorized access point. If separate series authority records for numbered and unnumbered versions of the same series are encountered in the database, cancel the record with the qualifier (usually “(Unnumbered)”) but occasionally “(Numbered)”) and merge useful information from it into the remaining record following the normal NACO procedures for duplicates.
Also consider that a single series exists if a numbered series begins a new sequence of numbering either with or without wording such as “new series.” (See RDA 2.12.9.6.)
When distinguishing between two series with different content but the same preferred title, avoid using the terms "numbered" or "unnumbered" as qualifiers. (See Policy Statement for 6.27.1.9, Serials (Including Numbered and Unnumbered Monographic Series).)
Different carrier/media types
For the following variations, consider that a single series exists, unless there is evidence showing that they are in fact separate series:
1.
If the media type varies or changes within the series.
2.
If the carrier type varies or changes within the series
3.
If all parts of the series are each published in two or more media or carrier types.
If warranted, add information on the authority record or records explaining the variation.
If separate series authority records are encountered in the database for versions of the same series that have different media or carrier types, retain only one of the records and cancel the remaining ones. Merge useful information from the cancelled records into the remaining record following the normal NACO procedures for duplicates.
