They are considered separate compilation works, assuming that they have
different contents. The PCC NACO training says to add additional work
element (date, place of origin, or other distinguishing characteristic) to
the conventional collective title. The date is probably NOT the best thing
to add, although it's one option. Many NACO libraries are adding the title
proper of the collection instead, since it may better aid in identification,
for example:
X. Poems. Selections (Best of X's poetry)
Some catalogers are not happy with this practice, and would prefer to
consider the title of the compilation to be the preferred title by which the
compilation is known. LC's policy, however, implies that the compiled work
does not become known by its title except through the passage of time (e.g.
Whitman's Leaves of Grass), and that for newly published compiled works, a
conventional collective title must be used instead.
Incidentally, although the RDA instructions do seem to be clear that the
date would be added in parentheses as you have done, in practice in MARC
these are being added in subfield $f following a period:
X. $t Poems. $k Selections. $f 2010

Subject: [RDA-L] 6.2.2.10 and 6.27.1.9
I am uncertain about the relationship of 6.2.2.10 (Recording the
Preferred Title for a Compilation of Works of One Person, Family, or
Corporate Body) and 6.27.1.9 (Additions to Access Points Representing
Works) - both in theory and in practice.
If I've got two different collections of works of the same creator, e.g.:
"Selected poems / X"
"Best of X's poetry"
Both get the collective title "Poems. Selections" according to 6.2.2.10.2.
But for the AAP, am I now supposed to add some additional attribute
according to 6.27.1.9, e.g.:
X. Poems. Selections (1995)
X. Poems. Selections (2010)
In short, my question is whether RDA considers the two different poetry
collections as two different works (which must then be distinguished in
the AAP) or as the same work (then, of course, no additional attribute
would be necessary in the AAP).
I'm also interested in the general practice. I know that LC used to add
dates (at least in the case of complete works and selected works), but
that this practice has now been abandoned. So I assume that LC now never
distinguishes between different collections of the same type. What do
others do?
