From: Resource Description and Access / Resource Description and Access [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joseph, Angelina Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 8:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [RDA-L] avant-titres I thought that RDA is for making things simpler, but when I read 2.3.4 and beyond, I found “avant-titres” which I have never heard of and could not find in Webster online either. I consider it’s ironic to have words like this in RDA Toolkit. --angelina 2.3.4.1 Scope Other title information▼<http://access.rdatoolkit.org/document.php?id=rdagloss&target=rdagloss-1316#rdagloss-1316> is information that appears in conjunction with, and is subordinate to, the title proper of a resource. Other title information may include any phrase appearing with a title proper that is indicative of the character, contents, etc., of the resource or the motives for, or occasion of, its production, publication, etc. Other title information includes subtitles, avant-titres, etc., but does not include variations on the title proper such as spine titles, sleeve titles, etc. (see 2.3.6[http://access.rdatoolkit.org/images/rdalink.png]<http://access.rdatoolkit.org/document.php?id=rdachp2&target=rda2-4004#rda2-4004>) or designations and/or names of parts, sections, or supplements (see 2.3.1.7[http://access.rdatoolkit.org/images/rdalink.png]<http://access.rdatoolkit.org/document.php?id=rdachp2&target=rda2-3328#rda2-3328>).
