MLA BP for 25.1
RELATED WORK
MLA recommendation: Follow . In bibliographic records for compilations, give access points for all works/expressions contained in the resource if feasible.1 If giving access points for some but not all works/expressions, give preference to those that are prominently named and/or form a substantial part of the resource.
For other types of related works, generally give access points in the following common situations, if feasible and readily ascertainable:
a.
Literary or artistic work that formed the inspiration for a musical work (see 25.0)
b.
Musical work upon which a derivative musical work is based (e.g., a work used as the basis for a set of variations)
Alternatively, give structured or unstructured descriptions instead of, or in addition to the access point(s).2

This guideline generally pertains to bibliographic records; however, these methods may also be employed in authority records for works
