I did a keyword search today in the OCLC authority file for titles containing the words works, selections, and 2015.  There are records like these:

Ashlag, Yehudah. ?t Works. ?k Selections (2015)
Do?gen, ?d 1200-1253. ?t Works. ?k Selections (2015)
Jano, Jack. ?t Works. ?k Selections (2015)
Kook, Abraham Isaac, ?d 1865-1935. ?t Works. ?k Selections (2015)
Lovecraft, H. P. ?q (Howard Phillips), ?d 1890-1937. ?t Works. ?k Selections (2015)

But many, many more records like these:

Austen, Jane, ?d 1775-1817. ?t Works. ?k Selections. ?f 2015
Benjamin, Walter, ?d 1892-1940. ?t Works. ?k Selections. ?f 2015
Chopin, Kate, ?d 1850-1904. ?t Works. ?k Selections. ?f 2015
Jackson, Shirley, ?d 1916-1965. ?t Works. ?k Selections. ?f 2015
Lawrence, D. H. ?q (David Herbert), ?d 1885-1930. ?t Works. ?k Selections. ?f 2015
Madison, James, ?d 1751-1836. ?t Works. ?k Selections. ?f 2015
Man Ray, ?d 1890-1976. ?t Works. ?k Selections. ?f 2015
Noonan, Peggy, ?d 1950- ?t Works. ?k Selections. ?f 2015

And more complicated ones such as:

Piglia, Ricardo. ?t Works. ?k Selections. ?f 2015 ?s (Editorial Universidad de Talca)
Piglia, Ricardo. ?t Works. ?k Selections. ?f 2015 ?s (Eterna Cadencia Editora)

Since Works. Selections is considered a work access point and not an expression point, when breaking a conflict with another collection that has the same collective title, the qualifier(s) should be put in paretheses and no subfielding is used in such a situation (work qualifiers are never preceded by subfield coding).

It doesn't look like many NACO catalogers understand this from the disparity between the number of correctly coded records and the incorrectly coded ones.   Do we need somehow to do a better job of teaching this?  Do we need a project to clean up all the incorrectly coded Works. Selections RDA access points?  Or does it not matter?
