IV.8. 240 : Uniform Title

- Remain mindful of the format changes, as well as work vs. expression AAPs, from AACR2 to RDA.
- Catalogers are reminded that subfield f is not used in RDA AAPs to break a conflict for works. So, rather than
Works. $$k Selections. $$f 2015
the correct form of the heading is
Works. $$k Selections (2015)
- See RDA Appendix E, and specifically E.1.2.5 for an outline of RDA punctuation practices for the AAP.
PCC Policy Change for Partial Compilations of a Single Author (April 2021)
As of April 8, 2021, the PCC policy for cataloging partial compilations of a single author has changed. In brief, the policy states:
"For compilations containing works created after 1500: Instead of recording the preferred title for each of the works in the compilation, record the title proper of the compilation as its preferred title. Optionally, give authorized access points for any or all of the individual works or expressions in the compilation in 7XX added entry fields. (See LC-PCC PS 25.1 and LC-PCC PS 26.1)."
Houghton catalogers will follow the Metadata Standards Working Group's recommendations to follow the PCC policy as directed. See MSWG's Best Practices for Cataloging Partial Compilations of a Single Author for details and examples.
N.B. Music and law are exceptions to this policy change. In addition, 8xx series tracings in bibliographic records for multipart monographs and analyzable monographs in a series may continue to use conventional collective titles (CCTs).
