Proposed Changes in the Cataloging of Serials with Generic and Uniform Titles |
| |
| Abstract: | The use of uniform title for serials and monographic series with generic titles, a practice that began with the adoption of the Anglo-American Calaloging Rules, second edition, creates many problems and should be substantially modified or discontinued. Alternative practices would be to place the qualifier to a generic title in the 245 (title) field itself or to return to the use of corporate author main entry. Although local procedures can help make uniform titles manageable, adjustments in current uniform title procedures should be made in AACR2, even before AACR3 is published, and these adjustments should be incorporated into AACR3. |
