I think this angle didn't come up in the previous thread. If so, I apologize in advance. Under AACR2, we were not to apply a conventional collective title to a collection of works like poems or short stories that had a distinctive title proper. I'm wondering if people will continue to observe

Adger, It is still possible to identify such a collection (compilation) by a distinctive title. The justification is found in the 1st sentence at 6.2.2.10: If a compilation of works is known by a title that is used in resources embodying that compilation or in reference sources, apply the

Hm. If something has to be known by its title to avoid getting a conventional collective title, doesn't that imply a certain amount of exposure to the public before the time of cataloguing in order for people to become familiar with the resource (get to know it)? (Certainly, there aren't going

I'm not sure if I'm reading RDA correctly here, but I'm going to paraphrase what I think RDA is saying: 6.2.2.10: If the compilation is known by a distinctive title already, go ahead and use that as the preferred title (i.e., 240 if necessary). Otherwise: 6.2.2.10.1: If the compilation is a

To me, it has to do with the phrases known by and resources embodying that compilation or in reference sources; these imply that the compilation as a work in its own right has been around for awhile, and with that particular title. YMMV, of course. Casey On 3/21/2013 10:08 AM, Kevin M
