Acknowledgements
This module, and the accompanying four, are based on the training given at the British Library, which is in turn developed from that used at the Library of Congress.
We would like to express our thanks to both institutions for making their training materials available to us.
3
Identifying works
“Naming the work”
Components of work authorised access points: Creators Preferred titles Additions
Special categories of work: Parts of a work Single-creator compilations Multi-creator compilations Collaborative works
4
Naming the work
Generally, the instructions for identifying works (and expressions) are found in Chapter 6
“Naming the work”
Just like “naming” persons, families and corporate bodies
Similar to AACR2 concept of “main entry”
Achieved via the creation of an authorised access point for the work:
“The standardised access point representing an entity”
Authorised access points for works
Every work must have a unique authorised access point
Ensuring that there is no conflict between work a.a.p.s means that distinct works are kept separate within the catalogue
E.g., enables differentiation of works with the same title
All resources embodying the same work must be given the same work a.a.p.
E.g., brings together all descriptions of resources embodying a work when various manifestations have appeared under various titles
Use the a.a.p. whenever the resource is referred to in other access points (including subjects) or in notes citing relationships between resources
5
6
Authorised access points for works - Construction
6.27.1.1 - 6.27.1.8
How to put together the elements to construct an authorised access point:
Preferred title is the basis
Authorised access point for the creator precedes the preferred title, if applicable
Make any additions to the preferred title as instructed under 6.27.1.9
7
Authorised access points for works - MARC
MARC has four possibilities for where work a.a.p. information can be coded:
1XX + 2401XX + 245130245
8
Entities responsible for a work – Instructions
Creator is a relationship to a work; it isn’t an attribute of the work itself
So we will find the instructions about creators in Chapter 19, not Chapter 6
9
Entities responsible for a work – Sources
RDA 19.1.1
Take information on persons, families, and corporate bodies associated with a work from:
Preferred sources of information (RDA 2.2.2) in resources embodying the work
Or, failing that: Other statements appearing prominently in the resource Information appearing only in the content of the resource Other sources
10
Creator
CORE ELEMENT
RDA 19.2
“A person, family, or corporate body responsible for the creation of a work”
E.g. Authors, artists, compilers, composers, photographers
RDA Appendix I.2.1 for relationship designators
11
>1 Creator
If more than one entity is responsible for the work as a whole:
The creator having principal responsibility named first in the resource is required
If principal responsibility is not indicated, only the first-named creator is required
Cambridge policy is to provide authorised access points for additional creators, unless unduly onerous
For a collaboration between person(s) and a corporate body, consider the corporate body instructions first
MARC: First creator 1XX; Subsequent creators 7XX
11
12
Creator – Changes from AACR2
No “Rule of Three” to instruct us to identify the work only by its preferred title when there are more than three creators
Knock-on effect on cuttering for some classification schemes
A performer of works by different composers presented in a sound recording is not automatically considered a creator
13
Compilers & modifiers as creators
RDA 19.2.1.1
An entity responsible for compiling an aggregate work may be considered a creator of the compilation if the selection, arrangement, editing, etc., of content for the compilation effectively results in the creation of a new work
An entity responsible for modifying a previously existing work in a way that substantially changes the nature or content of the original is considered a creator of the new work
Compilers & modifiers as creators - Examples
Authorised access point representing the creator for: A bibliography of Sanskrit works on astronomy and mathematics
Authorised access point representing the creator for: History of Angola. A new edition by W. Martin James, based on Susan H. Broadhead’s work with the same title
RDA 6.27.1.5
100 1# $a Sen, S. N. $q (Samarendra Nath), $d 1918-1992, $e compiler.
100 1# $a James, W. Martin, $e author.
14
15
Corporate bodies as creators
Categories of works are given in RDA 19.2.1.1.1
(Similar to AACR2 21.1B2)
Corporate body takes precedence over a first-named person or family as creator
Cambridge policy is to follow LC-PCC PS 19.2.1.1.1 (similar to LCRI for 21.21B2)
RDA 19.2.1.1.2 covers government and religious officials as creators
Works of an administrative nature
Dealing with any of the following aspects of the body itself: its internal policies, procedures, finances, and/or
operations its officers, staff, and/or membership (e.g., directories) its resources (e.g., catalogues, inventories)
Authorised access point representing the creator for: The constitution of the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh
110 2# $a Asiatic Society of Bangladesh, $e author.
16
Works recording collective thought of body
Authorised access point representing the creator for:The national conservation strategy for Zambia / prepared by the Government of the Republic of Zambia
110 1# $a Zambia, $e author.
17
Works reporting collective activity of conference, expedition, or event
The conference, expedition, or event must be named in the resource being described
NB The name can be anywhere on the resource: not necessarily located on the t.p., or even “prominently”
Authorised access point representing the creator for:Papers given at the Working Conference on Stochastic Programming
111 2# $a Working Conference on Stochastic Programming $d (1983 : $c Gargnano, Italy)
18
Works resulting from collective activity of performing group
Applied where the responsibility of the group goes beyond that of mere performance, execution, etc.
Authorised access point representing the creator for:Songs of Freedom / Bucket of Witches.
110 1# $a Bucket of Witches (Musical group), $e composer.
19
Cartographic works originating with a corporate body
Applied where the corporate body is responsible for more than just publication or distribution
Authorised access point representing the creator for:The new Oxford atlas for Pakistan / all maps drawn by the Cartographic Unit, Oxford University Press ; editorial adviser, Fazle Karim Khan.
110 1# $a Oxford University Press. Cartographic Department, $e cartographer.
20
21
A contributor is a person, family, or corporate body contributing to the realisation of a work through an expression
E.g. editors, translators, illustrators, arrangers of music, performers, writers of commentary, etc.
Chapter 20; Appendix I.3.1
Covered in Module 4 when we look at Expressions
What about contributors?
22
Title of the work - Terminology
Title of the work (RDA 6.2.1.1) “A word, character, or group of words and/or characters
by which a work is known”
Preferred title for the work (RDA 6.2.2.1) “The title or form of title chosen to identify the work ...
[and used as] the basis for the authorised access point representing that work”
Variant title for the work (RDA 6.2.3.1) “A title or form of title by which a work is known that
differs from ... the preferred title” The form used when constructing a variant access point
23
Title of the work - Language & script
RDA 5.4 tells us to “Record titles for works in the language and script in which they appear on the sources from which they are taken”
The alternative says “Record a transliterated form of the title either as a substitute for, or in addition to, the form that appears on the source”
Cambridge policy in authorised access points is to apply the alternative to give a romanised form
May give original in additional 880 field
Other attributes for a work are recorded in the language and script prescribed in the appropriate sections of Chapter 6
24
Title of the work - Recording
RDA 6.2.1
CapitalisationNumbersDiacriticsArticlesSpacingAbbreviations
NB “recording”, not “transcribing”
25
Preferred title for the work
CORE ELEMENT
RDA 6.2.2
Scope and sources: 6.2.2.1 – 6.2.2.2
Choosing preferred titles: 6.2.2.3 – 6.2.2.7
Recording preferred titles: 6.2.2.8 – 6.2.2.10
26
Sources of information for preferred titles
RDA 6.2.2.2
For a work created after 1500 From resources embodying the work or from reference
sources Usually: title proper of the first manifestation received
For a work created before 1501 From modern reference sources If this evidence is inconclusive, use (in this order):
a) modern editionsb) early editionsc) manuscript copies
27
Preferred title for specific categories of work
Certain categories of work have their instructions located in the appropriate sections of Chapter 6:
some musical works (6.14.2)
some legal works (6.19.2)
some religious works (6.23.2)
some official communications (6.26.2)
Each of these is a general instruction which should be applied unless more specific instructions are relevant
Preferred title for the work - Examples
28
240 10 $a Electron paramagnetic resonance of exchange coupled systems
245 10 $a EPR of exchange coupled systems / $c Alessandro Bencini.
240 10 $a Pickwick papers245 14 $a The posthumous papers of the
Pickwick Club / $c Charles Dickens.
245 10 $a Introduction to the physics of waves / $c Tim Freegarde, University of Southampton.

Additions to access points representing works (1)
RDA 6.27.1.9: Must differentiate all works
Each possible addition discussed in detail in earlier sections of Chapter 6
100 1# $a Steinbeck, John, $d 1902–1968, $e author.
245 10 $a Of mice and men / $c John Steinbeck.
100 1# $a Steinbeck, John, $d 1902–1968, $e author.
245 10 $a Of mice and men : $b a play in three acts / $c by John Steinbeck.
30
Additions to access points representing works (2)
In MARC 130 or 240
Form of work (6.3)
Date of the work (6.4)
Place of origin of the work (6.5)
Another distinguishing characteristic of the work (6.6)
No priority order
Can give more than one if needed
31
Additions to access points representing works (3)
LC-PCC PS 6.27.1.9
Check catalogue to see if there is any conflict. I.e. does the work a.a.p. for the resource in hand match the a.a.p. for a different work?
Fairly unlikely to happen for academic works of personal authorship, or where the preferred title is distinctive
Very likely to happen for a resource without 1XX and with a generic title, e.g., “Bulletin” or “Two plays”
Worth checking for literary works
32
Additions to access points representing works (4)
If there is conflict, resolve by making addition to a.a.p. in the bibliographic record being created; do not also modify the existing record
Construct an authorised access point with a parenthetical qualifier to differentiate the monograph or serial being catalogued
Use cataloguer’s judgement in determining the most appropriate qualifier
Multiple qualifiers: separate the qualifiers with a space-colon-space within one set of parentheses
Do not anticipate a conflict
33

39
Parts of a work – One part
RDA 6.2.2.9.1
Record the preferred title for the part by applying the basic instructions at 6.2.1
If the part has only a general designation, not a title, use the part designation. Record any numeric designation as a numeral
Preferred title for a part of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The lord of the rings: The two towers
240 10 $a Two towers
Preferred title for a part of Homer’s Iliad : Book 1
240 10 $a Iliad. $n Book 1
40
Parts of a work – Two or more parts (1)
RDA 6.2.2.9.2
For consecutively numbered parts, with only a general designation:
Record the designation of the parts in the singular, followed by the inclusive numbers of the parts
Preferred title for the first six books in Homer’s Iliad
240 10 $a Iliad. $n Book 1-6
41
Parts of a work – Two or more parts (2)
For unnumbered or non-consecutively numbered parts:
Cambridge policy is to follow the alternative instruction at 6.2.2.9.2 and record the conventional collective title Selections as the preferred title for the parts
Preferred title for a parts of the work in a compilation comprising J.R.R. Tolkien’s The fellowship of the ring and The two towers, but not The return of the king240 10 $a Lord of the rings. $k Selections
Preferred title for the parts of the work in a compilation comprising books 1 and 6 of Homer’s Iliad240 10 $a Iliad. $k Selections
42
Authorised access point for part(s) of a work
RDA 6.27.2
Generally:
preferred title for part(s) preceded by authorised access point for the creator, if
appropriate
Authorised access point for part of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The lord of the rings: The two towers100 1# $a Tolkien, J. R. R. $q (John Ronald
Reuel), $d 1892-1973, $e author.240 10 $a Two towers
43
Authorised access point for part(s) of a work – Exceptions

“Authorised access point” (Creator a.a.p. + Preferred title) for part of Homer’s Odyssey: Book 1100 0# $a Homer, $e author.240 10 $a Book 1
45
Compilations & Collaborations
Works may be either compilations or collaborations
Decision determines how each is “identified”
Compilations RDA 6.27.1.4
Collaborations RDA 6.27.1.3
46
How to decide
Clues that a work is a compilation:
Indication of who created what
From the preferred source, table of contents, preface, program notes, home page, other components in the resource
Assume it is a collaboration if:
there is no indication who created what
there is doubt
47
Multiple works by one creator
Must be treated as a compilation as there are no collaborators
Identified by: Creator + Preferred title
RDA 6.2.2.10 – constructing preferred title
RDA 6.27.1.2 – constructing access point
48
Preferred title for one-creator compilations – Complete works
RDA 6.2.2.10.1
Record the conventional collective title: Works
Preferred title for a compilation of the complete works of William Shakespeare:
100 1# $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564–1616, $e author.
240 10 $a Works
49
Preferred title for one-creator compilations – Complete works in a single form
RDA 6.2.2.10.2
Record the chosen conventional collective title from the list: Correspondence, Essays, Novels, Plays, Poems, Prose works, Short stories, Speeches
Exceptionally, if none of these is appropriate, choose another in consultation with supervisor
Preferred title for compilation of all Baudelaire’s poetry:
100 1# $a Baudelaire, Charles, $d 1821-1867, $e author.
240 10 $a Poems
50
Preferred title for one-creator compilations – Selections (1)
RDA 6.2.2.10.3 Alternative
For compilations of two or more (but not all) works, assign a conventional collective title as directed in:
6.2.2.10.1 (for more than one form), or 6.2.2.10.2 (for a single form),
and add Selections
No need to consider whether or not title proper is “distinctive”
Also provide access points for all contained works unless unduly onerous
51
Preferred title for one-creator compilations – Selections (2)
Preferred title for a selection of poems by Baudelaire:
100 1# $a Baudelaire, Charles, $d 1821-1867, $e author.
240 10 $a Poems. $k Selections
Preferred title for a resource containing selections from Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets:
100 1# $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616, $e author.
240 10 $a Works. $k Selections
100 1# $a Miller, Arthur, $d 1915-2005.240 10 $a Archbishop’s ceiling245 10 $a Two plays / $c Arthur Miller.505 0# $a The Archbishop’s ceiling -- The
American clock.700 12 $a Miller, Arthur, $d 1915-2005.
$t American clock.
52
Compilation of 2 works by same creator – Example (1)
AACR2: Use the title proper of the first work as the preferred title (but this misidentifies the compilation)
RDA: Use a conventional collective title
* Second 700 is not core, but is Cambridge policy
100 1# $a Miller, Arthur, $d 1915-2005.240 10 $a Plays. $k Selections245 10 $a Two plays / $c Arthur Miller.505 0# $a The Archbishop’s ceiling -- The

53
Compilation of 2 works by same creator – Example (2)
54
Multiple works by multiple creators - Compilations v. Collaborations
Compilation identified by:
Preferred title
[No creator, because there is no single creator of the individual works]
Collaboration identified by:
Creator (principal or first-named) + Preferred title
55
Preferred title for compilations of works by multiple creators
Identify the compilation by its preferred title (RDA 6.27.1.4)
If the work is a compilation of works by different persons, families, or corporate bodies, construct the authorised access point representing the work using the preferred title for the compilation
In this case the preferred title is the title proper
A compilation of stories by different authors:245 00 $a Working-class stories of the 1890s
/ $c edited with an introduction by P.J. Keating.
700 1# $a Keating, P. J., $e editor of compilation.
56
Compilation of works by multiple creators lacking a collective title
RDA 6.27.1.4
Generally use the title proper of the first work in the compilation as the preferred title, and provide authorised access points for all contained works unless unduly onerous
100 1# $a Polk, Sharon.240 10 $a Community band concerts245 10 $a Community band concerts / $c
Sharon Polk. Fall harvestfestivals / Terri Swanson.
700 12 $a Swanson, Terri. $t Fall harvest festivals.
57
Compilation of works by multiple creators lacking a collective title – Example (1)
AACR2: Use the title proper of the first work as the preferred title (but this misidentifies the compilation)
RDA: Use the title proper of the first work as the preferred title (follow LC-PCC PS and do not devise a title)
* Second 700 is not core, but is Cambridge policy
245 00 $a Community band concerts / $c Sharon Polk. Fall harvest festivals / Terri Swanson.
700 12 $a Polk, Sharon. $t Community band concerts.
