[Heb-NACO] parallel titles

[Kuperman, Aaron]

Is a “title” appearing elsewhere in the work that is NOT a translation of the title proper a parallel title.   It clearly is some sort of title (meaning a 246 and perhaps an explanatory note), but is it a parallel title that should be in the 245 following an “=” sign.   There appears to be no guidance in RDA or the PS for this.

Subject: [Heb-NACO] parallel titles

Bob's question is not answered in RDA, as far as I know, at least as far as Heidi and I knew when we conducted the RDA e-forum earlier this year.  Here's what we said:
245/246—Parallel title proper is a Core element for libraries that adhere to LC or PCC policy. (It is not necessarily a core element for libraries that do not follow LC-PCC guidelines.)  Under AACR2, we transcribed parallel titles appearing in the same source as the title proper in the 245, following an equals sign (=).  Under RDA we record any title/all titles matching the definition in the 245, regardless of where they appear in the resource.  In this example, the “title proper in another language or script” appears on the t.p. verso.  So it must appear in the 245.  It’s optional to provide a 246 which identifies where it was found in the resource. The location is provided either by the first and second indicators or the use of delimiter “i”. Please review the guidelines for variant title access in LC-PCC PS 2.3.6.3 and the MARC21 Bibliographic Format.

Parallel other title information is not a Core element.  The 245 may be formulated as:

‡a Title proper = ‡b Parallel title : other title information / ‡c statement of responsibility.
or as
‡a Title proper : ‡b other title information = Parallel title : parallel other title information / ‡c statement of responsibility.

Additionally or alternatively, if there is parallel other title information, it may be included in the 246:

$a Parallel title : ‡b parallel other title information

Giving the parallel other title information in both the 245 and the 246 is more trouble than it’s worth, the judgment of many.

P.S. Of course the choice and order of recorded information should be the same in both the parallel fields.

Good people of the Heb-NACO-sphere:

As I've been reviewing the draft of the HC RDA, something keeps popping up with regard to the structure of 245's with parallel titles, to wit:

A. p.43  Emek ha-shaveh = $b Emek hashave : mahzor shirim

structurally, that's 245##$a [romanized] = $b [parallel $a] : [romanized sub title]

I've seen this construction before and it has pleased me not one bit, and I doubt that I'm alone.

A formulation that I like much better because it more closely approximates my algebraic approach to cataloging:

B 245## Emek ha-shaveh : $b mahzor shirim = Emek hashave*

The Bob-pleasing structure is

245## [$a romanized] : [$b rom. sub.] = [parallel of $a]*

My questions:

1) Is structure A endorsed anywhere in RDA explicitly?

2) Is the choice of structures a matter of cataloger's judgement?

*I'll have you know that I would shamelessly include the parallel sub-title as well.

B
