I've asked just this question on the PCC list, since the policy statement that covers this is labeled LC practice. So far I've only heard back from a few libraries, but they are following LC practice. Which makes sense when you consider that much of the copy for cataloging that we get comes from LC, and we don't have the staffing to redo what they do. Therefore we will be getting and accepting many records that have these conventional collective titles, and any original cataloging records that we might create according to a different local practice would be just a drop in the bucket of all the records in our catalog.

Adam,

These examples all seem to follow LC's interpretation of the first sentence of RDA 6.2.2.10, i.e. none of these collections was treated as being known under its own title.

So, is it correct to assume that LC's rather extreme interpretation (that a collection can only become known by its own title over the course of time) is at present widely followed, although Kevin Randall and others have raised objections?

I've noticed that in the NACO training module 6
http://www.loc.gov/catworkshop/courses/naco-RDA/Module%206-Describing%20Works%20and%20Expressions.pptx
there is no detailed explanation of how the first sentence of RDA 6.2.2.10 is to be understood (slide 38). So I'm not sure whether all PCC libraries follow LC's practice here.
