There's no one answer to this, unfortunately. The work level should represent the title of the work as it was named by the originator and as the work is most commonly known. Oftentimes, subtitles are added afterward, at least for very old works (Moby Dick, Hamlet) that have gone through many different printings. In addition, subtitles that are "explanatory" are often not considered to be part of the work title. (I think that Lessig's "Code, and other laws of cyberspace" fits here -- the work title would probably be considered to be "Code". "Hamlet, Prince of Denmark" is given the work title of "Hamlet".) In the end it's a judgment call, but I would tend to NOT include subtitles unless you are pretty sure that the title itself is not commonly used alone. Cataloging: an art, not a science. :-) -- Karen Coyle [email protected] http://kcoyle.net ph: 1-510-540-7596 m: 1-510-435-8234 skype: kcoylenet _______________________________________________ Ol-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-discuss To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to [email protected]
