What I would really like to see is some kind of justification for this idea. Is there any evidence that catalog users or the general public do NOT know the the title of a compilation by the title that appears on its title page? Can anyone tell me--with a straight face--that the book "Everything is nice : collected stories, sketches and plays" is not known to anyone by that title, but rather is known by the title "Works. Selections. 2012"??? Kevin M. Randall Principal Serials Cataloger Northwestern University Library k...@northwestern.edu (847) 491-2939 Proudly wearing the sensible shoes since 1978!
