Tagging of Title Added Entries

Since the implementation of format integration (January 1995), title added entries are tagged in three different ways:

·        246  Variant titles associated with the item, whether or not the title(s) appears on the item.

·        730  Uniform titles entered as an added entry, rather than main entry (130 or 240); these headings are under authority control.

·        740  Uncontrolled titles (these titles are not under authority control) for:

1) independent works (analytics) contained within an item (e.g., two or more plays, short stories, etc. bound together; or, for titles listed in contents notes);

2) added entries for titles of related publications external to the item (e.g., when a book is accompanied by another item (workbook, supplement, etc.) with a different title)

 

Initial Articles

Do not include initial articles in any of the sub-fields of the 246.  Unlike the 245, there is no indicator for non-filing characters for the 246.  Do not enter punctuation at the end of the field unless the field ends with an abbreviation.

 

 

Indicators

1st indicator controls printing/display.  Even though its coding is irrelevant for OPAC display, code it appropriately.

2nd indicator represents the source of the title in field 246--not the source of the title in the 245.  It is used in place of a 500 note and determines the OPAC display constant (introductory phrase such as Cover title) which precedes the text in the field.  See table below.

 

1st INDICATOR

 

0          note, no title added entry

1          note, title added entry

2          no note, no title added entry

3          no note, title added entry

5          added title page title—item has 2 title pages

6          caption title—at head of first page of text

7          running title—top/bottom of each page

Subfield i

Use |i when none of the other second indicator values above provide the needed display constant.  When this subfield is used, the second indicator is blank.  The order of text entered in the field is:  Subfield i--the phrase to be displayed--colon--|a title (drop initial article).
