By the way, as we're are talking about variant titles: I was wondering the
other day about an example at 2.3.6.3 ("Recording variant titles"):
"Arranging and describing archives and manuscripts Title proper recorded as:
Arranging & describing archives & manuscripts"
It is, of course, obvious (and common practice) to record a version with
"and" as a variant title. But I'm not absolutely sure under which of the
classes a) to g) this example should be placed. I assume it would be a case
of c) ("those assigned by an agency registering or preparing a description
of the resource (e.g., a title assigned by a repository, a cataloguer's
translation or transliteration of the title"). Would you agree?
[DF:] Yes, I agree that 'c' could cover this situation as "Variant titles
include the following: ... c) those assigned by an agency ... preparing a
description of the resource".
But this list under 2.3.6.1 is not restrictive--the scope note says "Variant
titles *include* the following", leaving it open for us to add types of
variant titles that are not included in the list.
This is where the LC-PCC PS for 2.3.6.3 is really handy (even though it is
still expressed in MARC 246 terms), since it brings over the guidelines from
LCRI 21.30J to provide additional guidance on situations when it would be
useful to add a variant title.
