Policy Statements for Chapter 6: Identifying Works and Expressions
LC-PCC PS for 6.1.3.1
WORKS ISSUED AS MULTIPART MONOGRAPHS
LC practice/PCC practice: If a work embodied in a multipart monograph is identified by a creator based on the first or earliest volume received, and subsequent volumes indicate additional creators are involved, do not change the authorized access point for the work, but record additional creators when considered important.

WORKS ISSUED AS SERIALS
Expressions When Preferred Title of Work Changes
LC practice/PCC practice: When there are different language expressions of a serial work and the preferred title of the work (as determined according to RDA 6.2.2) changes, create a new description for each different expression of that work even if the title proper of the manifestation of the specific language expression did not change.
) changes, create a new description for each different expression of that work even if the title proper of the manifestation of the specific language expression did not change.EXAMPLE
"Mechanics of solids" is the title proper of an English-language expression of a work in Russian. Although the English title proper did not change, a new description is necessary because the preferred title of the work in Russian changed.
Subseries and the Omission/Addition of Main Series
PCC practice: When either of the situations below occurs, create a new series authority record (SAR) and link the two authorized access points via MARC 5XX fields
.
.1.
The title of a main series included in an existing authorized access point is no longer present on later issues or parts.
2.
The title of a main series not included in an existing authorized access point appears on later issues or parts.
If the presence/absence of the title of the main series continues to be inconsistent, do not create additional SARs. Use the SAR for the later authorized access point and add information and variant access points as appropriate.

GENERAL GUIDELINES ON CHOOSING A PREFERRED TITLE
Choosing the Preferred Title for Series
New Series Authority Records
PCC practice for series authorities: When creating a new series authority record, evidence for series title and numbering designation should be taken from the earliest available part or from an LC-PCC bibliographic record for the earliest available part with a description that conforms to RDA.
Existing Series Authority Records
PCC practice for series authorities: If the title found on the resource differs from the form found in the existing authority record, consider whether it is a major title change (see RDA 2.3.2.13.1) or a minor title change (see RDA 2.3.2.13.2). If the change is minor, record the title found on the resource as a variant title (see Policy Statement 6.27.4 Variations in the Title Proper That are Not "Major Changes") unless there is strong evidence that the form found on the resource should be the preferred title (for example, if the resource represents an earlier part in the series than the one that was used as the basis for the preferred title when the authority record was created). If the SAR does not contain a citation for the series title and information about the title used as the preferred title is not available, do not revise the 1XX form. For series numbering practice, see Policy Statement 24.6.

TITLES IN THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE NOT FOUND OR NOT APPLICABLE
Manuscripts and Manuscript Groups
Scope
LC practice/PCC practice: Manuscripts and manuscript groups have dual identities: one as the physical object (the illuminations, calligraphy, binding, paper, etc., that are reproduced or discussed, which is hereafter referred to as the physical manuscript) and one as the intellectual content (the text, music, etc., contained within the physical manuscript, which is hereafter referred to as the work). The form of authorized access point for the physical manuscript may be different than that the authorized access point for the work, or the same form may used for both.
Different Access Points for Work and Physical Manuscript
When the preferred title for a work has a different title than that by which the physical manuscript is known and/or the work has a creator, separate authorized access points are used for the work and the physical manuscript.
EXAMPLE
| 100 1# | $a Liberi, Fiore dei, $d active 15th century. $t Flos duellatorum |
authorized access point for the work
| 110 2# | $a J. Paul Getty Museum. $k Manuscript. $n Ludwig XV 13 |

| 130 #0 | $a Codice atlantico |
authorized access point for the physical manuscript
| 130 #0 | $a Magna Carta |

| 110 2# | $a Bodleian Library. $k Manuscript. $n Rawlinson C. 641, folio 21–29 |
authorized access point for the physical manuscript
See Bible, Catholic Church, Liturgy, etc. Manuscripts for special instructions for those types of manucripts.
Same Authorized Access Point for Work and Physical Manuscript
The authorized access point for the work and the physical manuscript are the same when 1) the preferred title for the work is the same as that of the physical manuscript; 2) the work has no known creator; and 3) the manuscript does not contain a sacred or liturgical work (see Bible, Catholic Church, Liturgy, etc. Manuscripts).
Use RDA 6.2.2.4-RDA 6.2.2.5 and RDA 6.27.1 to formulate an authorized access point for the textual, musical, etc., content contained in a physical manuscript when the work and the physical manuscript share the same authorized access point.

Authorized Access Point for a Physical Manuscript
Select the name in this order of preference: 1) the name of the physical manuscript; 2) a devised title representing the repository designation for the physical manuscript.
Note that the authorized access point for a physical manuscript should not be used in the 1XX of a bibliographic record unless the authorized access point for the work and the physical manuscript are the same.
Name of Physical Manuscript
LC practice/PCC practice: Generally, the name of a physical manuscript is a phrase that contains a generic term such as "codex," "stone," "tablet," or the equivalent in other languages, or a phrase that combines the name of a location (monastery, town, etc.) with a term indicative of the physical manuscript’s content, even if the name is not otherwise particularly distinctive. Consider the name of the physical manuscript to be the name used by the repository or scholars or the name found in reference sources, not a "name" devised only for the edition in hand. In determining the name of the physical manuscript, consider principally the resource being cataloged if it gives a name used by the repository or scholars. If the resource being cataloged does not give a name, use judgment whether to consult reference sources to find a name, because the majority of physical manuscripts are not known by a name.
If the only source is the resource being cataloged and it presents variant forms of the physical manuscript’s name, use as the name the form found on the preferred source of information, the form presented in other prominent sources, or the form found elsewhere in the resource, in that order of preference.
If the name of the physical manuscript changes, change the authorized access point as appropriate when it is needed for current cataloging. Consider including in the authority record a variant access point for the earlier name.
Repository Designation
LC practice/PCC practice: If the name of the physical manuscript cannot be determined, construct its authorized access point using the corporate body authorized access point for the current repository that now holds the physical manuscript (or the repository that last held the physical manuscript if the physical manuscript no longer exists), the term "Manuscript," and the designation in the repository.
If the name of the repository changes, the physical manuscript is moved to a different repository, or the designation within the repository changes, change the authorized access point as appropriate when it is needed for current cataloging. Consider including in the authority record the form of the earlier access point as a variant access point.
If the resource being cataloged presents variant forms of the physical manuscript’s repository designation, use in the authorized access point the form found on the preferred source of information, the form presented in other prominent sources, the form found elsewhere in the resource, or the form appearing most frequently in reference sources, in that order of preference. For the designation in the repository, follow the pattern that has been established in the LC/NAF for the particular repository. If no pattern exists, use the form found on the resource being cataloged or in reference sources.
Parts of Physical Manuscripts in Different Repositories
LC practice/PCC practice: If a physical manuscript has been divided into multiple parts, with the parts located in different repositories, construct an authorized access point for each part separately using the instructions above. Connect the access points with MARC 5XX fields.
.Parts of Works in Manuscripts
LC practice/PCC practice: Do not use "Selections" in access points for physical manuscripts except when the authorized access point for the work and the physical manuscript are the same.
When an authorized access point is needed for a part of a physical manuscript named by a repository designation, apply RDA 6.2.2.6.2, Alternative to add the foliaton for the part.
to add the foliaton for the part. EXAMPLE
| 110 2# | $a British Library. $k Manuscript. $n Additional 15233, folio 11–27 |
If the authorized access point for the work is the same as for the physical manuscript, add "Selections" when constructing an authorized access point for extracts of the work.
EXAMPLE
| 730 02 | $a Codex Ixtlilxochitl. $k Selections |
The physical manuscript and the work it contains share the same authorized access point.
Authority Records
General
LC practice/PCC practice: To promote consistency among shared authority files, create an authority record for the authorized access point for the physical manuscript in all cases. It is not necessary to establish the separate authorized access point for the work unless it is needed to catalog the resource in hand.
Add a MARC 667 note to the authority record for the physical manuscript to explain the relationship between the authorized access point for the physical manuscript and the authorized access point for the work, e.g.:
note to the authority record for the physical manuscript to explain the relationship between the authorized access point for the physical manuscript and the authorized access point for the work, e.g.:EXAMPLE
| 667 ## | $a Authorized access point for the physical manuscript; for the work contained in the physical manuscript, see [LCCN of authority record for the work] |
Authorized access point for the work is already established or is being established concurrently with the authorized access point for the physical manuscript
| 667 ## | $a Authorized access point for the physical manuscript; for the work contained in the physical manuscript, use the authorized access point for the individual work. |
Authorized access point for the work is not already established and there is no need to establish it for the resource in hand
| 667 ## | $a Use this authorized access point for both the physical manuscript and the work it contains. |
The physical manuscript and the work it contains can share the same authorized access point
With the exception of Bible, Catholic Church Liturgy, etc., Manuscripts (see below), LC will generally not connect the authorized access points for physical manuscripts and the works or expressions they contain with MARC 5XX fields.
.Variant Access Points When Authorized Access Point Is the Name of the Physical Manuscript
LC practice/PCC practice: Consider including variant access points as appropriate from:
1.
the current and any former repository designations if known, following the instructions under Repository Designation above;
above;2.
the name of the physical manuscript as though it were a repository designation (exceptionally, code such phrases as $n even though they lack any indication of sequencing in order to facilitate indexing in many automated catalogs);
even though they lack any indication of sequencing in order to facilitate indexing in many automated catalogs);3.
variant names and/or designations found in the resource being cataloged and in reference sources.
EXAMPLE
Repository designation
| 410 2# | $a Bibliothèque nationale (France). $k Manuscript. $n Mexicain 386 |
Repository designation and former name of repository
| 410 2# | $a Bibliothèque nationale de France. $k Manuscript. $n Mexicain 2 |
Former repository designation
| 410 2# | $a Bibliothèque nationale (France). $k Manuscript. $n Mexicain 2 |
Former repository designation and former name of repository
| 410 2# | $a Bibliothèque nationale de France. $k Manuscript. $n Codex Peresianus |
Name as if repository designation. Note exceptional coding of a phrase lacking any indication of sequencing as $n to facilitate indexing in many automated catalogs
| 430 #0 | $a Codex de Pérez |
Variant name in resource being cataloged
| 430 #0 | $a Codex Pérez (Pre-Hispanic Mayan manuscript) |
Variant name in reference source, qualified to resolve conflict with authorized access point Codex Pérez
Variant Access Points When Authorized Access Point Is the Repository Designation
LC practice/PCC practice: Include variant access points from all forms of current and former repository designations found on the resource being cataloged and in reference sources consulted.
EXAMPLE
Variant of repository designation
| 410 2# | $a British Museum. $k Manuscript. $n Additional 43487 |
Designation in former repository
| 667 ## | $a Authorized access point for the physical manuscript; for the work in the physical manuscript, use the authorized access point for the individual work. |
Former repository designation
| 667 ## | $a Authorized access point for the physical manuscript; for the work in the physical manuscript, use the authorized access point for the individual work. |
Bible, Catholic Church Liturgy, etc., Manuscripts
LC practice/PCC practice: Authorized access points for the work or expression contained in physical manuscripts such as those of the Bible or Catholic Church liturgy may include the name of the physical manuscript or its repository designation as part of the access point (see RDA 6.25.1.4). This is a separate access point from the authorized access point for the physical manuscript. For example:
). This is a separate access point from the authorized access point for the physical manuscript. For example:EXAMPLE
| 130 0# | $a Bamberger Psalter |
The authorized access point for the physical manuscript
| 110 2# | $a Catholic Church. $t Psalter (Manuscript Bamberger Psalter) |
The authorized access point for the work contained in the Bamberger Psalter. Note addition of "Manuscript" to the name of the physical manuscript per RDA 6.30.4
| 110 2# | $a Bodleian Library. $k Manuscript. $n Auct. E. Infra 1 & 2 |
The authorized access point for the physical manuscript
| 130 #0 | $a Bible. $l Latin. $s Bodleian Library. $k Manuscript. $n Auct. E. Infra 1 & 2 |
The authorized access point for the expression contained in the physical manuscript
The authorized access point for the work contained in the physical manuscript does not need to be established until it is used. (For example, when illuminations from a physical manuscript are published separately, the authorized access point for the work they illuminate is generally not needed.) When the authorized access point for the work is established, make a MARC 667 note to clarify the relationship between the authorized access point for the work and the authorized access point for the physical manuscript, e.g.:
note to clarify the relationship between the authorized access point for the work and the authorized access point for the physical manuscript, e.g.:EXAMPLE
| 667 ## | $a Authorized access point represents the textual [and/or musical, etc.] content of the physical manuscript; for publications limited to its decoration or to discussion of its non-textual aspects, use [LCCN of authority record for the manuscript]. |

TITLES FROM REFERENCE SOURCES
Named Individual Works of Art
LC practice/PCC practice: Use as the preferred title the title found in English-language reference sources (including books and articles written about a work of art). If the title is not found in English-language reference sources, use other reference sources. Generally avoid a reference source that routinely uses one language for all titles. If the evidence is inconclusive, use (in this order of preference) the title found in:
encyclopedias or dictionaries
indexes
a catalogue raisonné for the artist
catalogs issued by the body owning the work of art
Consider making name/title (or title, if responsibility for the work is unknown) variant access points from titles not chosen as the preferred title, and other appropriate variant access points.
