<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This is a brief Public Service Announcement regarding the 246 Varying Form of Title field. Recently, the |g has seen an increase in use for the purpose of recording the author’s name as it appears with varying forms of
the title. There is no basis for this practice nor is it standard practice for the 246 field.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Looking in <i>MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data</i> by LC (or
<i>Bibliographic Formats and Standards</i> by OCLC), the 246 subfield g is defined as “miscellaneous information”. That is, miscellaneous information
<b>regarding the variant form of title</b>, not just any miscellaneous information about the book or its author. Variant forms of author name are the domain of authority records not the bibliographic record. Please stop using the 246|g for recording the variant
author name as it appears with the variant tile.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
