Check RDA D.1.2.2 Title and Statement of Responsibility Area for ISBD punctuation
Use semicolons to separate titles proper if by same person. Use full stop to separate each grouping of titles proper and statements of responsibility if by different persons. Using the example: Saudades do Brasil : suite de danses pour orchestre / Darius Milhaud. Symphonie concertante pour trompette et orchestre / Henry Barraud Separated into MARC subfields (note that $c carries the burden of all repeating elements). 245 $a Saudades do Brasil :$b suite de danses pour orchestre /$c Darius Milhaud. Symphonie concertante pour trompette et orchestre / Henry Barraud But RDA always combines a value with the name of the element and includes no instructions for punctuation or repeatability, but some elements are defined as being associated with, appearing in conjunction with, or subordinate to other elements: Title proper: Saudades do Brasil Other title information: suite de danses pour orchestre Statement of responsibility relating to title proper: Darius Milhaud Title proper: Symphonie concertante pour trompette et orchestra Statement of responsibility relating to title proper: Henry Barraud Thomas Brenndorfer Guelph Public Library ________________________________________ From: Resource Description and Access / Resource Description and Access [RDA-L@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA] On Behalf Of Heidrun Wiesenmüller [wiesenmuel...@hdm-stuttgart.de] Sent: July-27-13 5:54 AM To: RDA-L@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA Subject: [RDA-L] RDA 2.3.2.9 Resource lacking a collective title Could anybody please explain to me the second part of 2.3.2.9 "Resource lacking a collective title"? I'm quite at a loss here. "If the sources of information identifying the individual parts are being treated as a collective source of information for the resource as a whole (see 2.1.2), record the titles proper of the parts in the order in which they appear in the resource." One of the examples given is: Henry Esmond Bleak House I assume that this refers to a resource which includes both Thackeray's "The history of Henry Esmond" and Dickens' "Bleak House". I also assume that this resource doesn't have a title page which names both works (as in the examples in the first part of 2.3.2.9), but instead has two separate title pages, one for each novel (e.g., as tête-bêche). Is this the correct interpretation? If so, I'm still not clear as to how the two titles proper are to be recorded. What would it look like in MARC? And does it mean that I have two instances of the RDA element "title proper" in this case, or do the titles proper of both novels together make up the element "title proper" of the manifestation?
