[Heb-NACO] proposed instruction on conventional collective titles

Thu Jan 31 14:41:32 EST 2013

I think this is a separate question from the last one.  If it's not possible to determine which is the first or predominant work, then either

1) the thing can't be considered a compilation, per the answer to the last question, or
2) it belongs to one of the exempted categories in the LC-PCC PSs on 25.1 and 26.2

If neither of these is the case, I don't really see how one could ever be unable to determine the first work (OR the predominant work, for that matter).  Of course this work has to have a TITLE (and that's why collections of letters are exempted, for example).

(sorry, sent too soon)

Often in such cases it is not clear which is the "first or predominant work" -- it's all just one big jumble.

What is one to do in a case where several such terms are given in a book's title? E.g.:

Sefer Yalḳuṭ ʻavodat Yiśraʼel : ḳevutsat maʼamarim, liḳuṭim yeḳarim, ʻal seder parashiyot ha-Torah ... / me-et Yiśraʼel, magid me-yesharim di-ḳḳ.

PROPOSED NEW SECTION FOR HCM 2ND ED
Joan Biella and Heidi Lerner

The use of conventional collective titles is considerably expanded under RDA, owing to the fact that a distinction between “adequate” and “inadequate” titles proper, as described in LCRI 25.10, is no longer made.  Any compilation of two or more but not all of the works of a single person, family, or corporate body requires a conventional collective title followed by “Selections,” (cf. LC-PCC PS for the Alternative to 6.2.2.10.3).

For some types of compilations, an authorized access point for the first or predominant work in the compilation is also required (cf. LC-PCC PS for 26.1).

6.2.2.10.3 Other Compilations of Two or More Works, LC practice for the Alternative

For a compilation consisting of two or more but not all the works of one person, family, or corporate body, in a particular form, record a conventional collective title followed by “Selections.”  Give an authorized access point for the first or predominant work (Policy Statement 25.1) or expression (Policy Statement 26.1).

LC-PCC PS for 26.1 Related Expression
For compilations of expressions other than those which include the original expression and one or more translations, give an analytical authorized access point for the predominant or first expression in the compilation when it represents a substantial part of the resource. Disregard contributions such as a preface or introductory chapter. Generally, do not apply this core element to anthologies of poetry, hymnals, conference proceedings, journals, collections of interviews or letters, and similar resources.

Instruction 6.2.2.10.2  Complete Works in a Single Form provides a list of frequently-used conventional collective titles, and adds “If none of these terms is appropriate, record an appropriate specific collective title (e.g., Posters, Fragments, Encyclicals).”

                        Correspondence                                 Poems
                        Essays                                                            Prose works
                        Novels                                                 Short stories
                        Plays                                                   Speeches
