and Items
2.0
Purpose and Scope
This chapter provides general guidelines and instructions on recording the attributes
of manifestations1 and items2 that are most often used for purposes of identifying a
resource.
The elements reflect the information typically used by the producers of resources to
identify their products—title, statement of responsibility, edition statement, etc. The
same elements are those that a user will most frequently rely on to determine whether
the resource described is the one sought, or to distinguish between resources bearing
similar identifying information.
Not all of the elements covered in this chapter may be applicable to the description
of a particular resource. For those elements that are applicable, the description of the
resource should include at least those that are designated as core elements (see 1.3)
If those elements are not sufficient to differentiate the resource from others
bearing similar identifying information, include additional elements from this chapter
or from chapter 3
(Describing Carriers) and/or 4
Providing Acquisition and
Access Information), as necessary.
1 Manifestation, as used in this chapter, refers to the physical embodiment of an expression of a work.
2 Item, as used in this chapter, refers to a single exemplar or instance of a manifestation.
2.1
Basis for Identification of the Resource
2.1.1 General Guidelines
When choosing a source of information as the basis for the identification
of the resource, apply the guidelines given under 2.1.2–2.1.3
below as
appropriate to the type of description and type of resource.

2.1.2 Comprehensive Description
2.1.2.1General Guidelines
When preparing a comprehensive description, choose a source
of information appropriate to the mode of issuance as instructed
under 2.1.2.2–2.1.2.4
.
2.1.2.2 Resource Issued as a Single Unit
When preparing a comprehensive description for a resource
issued as a single unit (e.g., a textbook in one volume), choose
a source of information identifying the resource as a whole.
If there is no source of information identifying the resource as
a whole (e.g., a single videodisc containing multiple feature
films but with no source of information identifying the resource
as a whole), treat the sources of information identifying its
individual contents as a collective source of information for the
resource as a whole.
2.1.2.3 Resource Issued in More Than One Part
issued in more than one part (e.g., a series of scientific treatises,
or a periodical), choose one of the following, as appropriate, as
the basis for identifying the resource as a whole: •
•
•
•
•
a source of information identifying the first issue or part
(i.e., the lowest numbered issue or part), if the issues or
parts are sequentially numbered
a source of information identifying the earliest issue or
part (i.e., the issue or part with the earliest date of issue),
if the issues or parts are unnumbered or were not issued
in the order of their sequential numbers
a source of information identifying the lowest numbered
issue or part available, if the issues or parts are
sequentially numbered and the first issue or part is not
available
a source of information identifying the earliest issue or
part available, if the issues or parts are unnumbered or
were not issued in the order of their sequential numbers
and the earliest issue or part is not available
a source of information identifying the resource as a
whole, if the concept of order of parts is not applicable
(e.g., a kit).
October 31, 2008
2
If the resource is one to which the concept of ordered parts is
not applicable, and there is no source of information identifying
the resource as a whole (e.g., a set of locally produced
videodiscs with no source of information identifying the set as
a whole), choose a source of information identifying the main
part, if there is one part that can be considered the main part of
the resource. Otherwise, treat the sources identifying the
individual parts as a collective source of information for the
resource as a whole. If the identification of a resource with ordered parts is not based
on the first issue or part, make a note identifying the issue or
part used as the basis for identification of the resource (see
2.20.12.3
).
For sources of information for numbering identifying the last
issue or part of a serial (or the first or last issue in a separate
sequence of numbering), see 2.6.1.2
For sources of information for date of production, publication,
distribution, and/or manufacture of the last issue or part of a
multipart monograph or serial, see 2.7.6.2
, 2.8.6.2
,
2.9.6.2
, and 2.9.6.2
, respectively.
2.1.2.4 Integrating Resource
that is added to or changed by means of updates that do not
remain discrete but are integrated into the whole (e.g., an
updating Web site), choose a source of information identifying
the current iteration of the resource as a whole. If there is no source of information identifying the current
iteration of the integrating resource as a whole, treat the sources
of information identifying the current iteration of its individual
contents as a collective source of information for the current
iteration as a whole.
Make a note identifying the latest iteration consulted in making
the description (see 2.20.12.4
).
For sources of information for date of production, publication,
distribution, and/or manufacture of the first iteration of an
integrating resource, see 2.7.6.2
, 2.8.6.2
, and 2.9.6.2
, respectively.

2.1.3 Analytical Description
When preparing an analytical description for a resource, choose
a source of information appropriate to the mode of issuance of
the part or parts being described as instructed under 2.1.3.2–
2.1.3.4
.
2.1.3.2Single Part
When preparing an analytical description for a single part of a
resource (e.g., an article in a journal, one short story in a
volume containing three stories, one volume of a multivolume
history, or a separately titled issue of a professional journal),
choose a source of information identifying the particular part
being described.
2.1.3.3 More Than One Part
When preparing an analytical description for more than one
part of a resource (e.g., two volumes covering Renaissance
plays in a multivolume monograph on English theatre, or a
serial update accompanying a monograph), choose a source of
information as instructed under 2.1.2.3
, as applicable to
the parts being described.
2.1.3.4 Integrating Resource
When preparing an analytical description for a part or parts
issued as an integrating resource (e.g., one volume of a
multivolume set issued as an updating loose-leaf or one section
of a Web site with multiple updating sections), choose a source
or sources of information identifying the current iteration of the
particular part or parts being described.
2.2
Sources of Information
2.2.1 Application
Apply the instructions given under 2.2.2–2.2.4
when choosing a
source of information for all elements covered in this chapter unless the
instructions on sources of information for the element specify otherwise.
October 31, 2008

2.2.2 Preferred Source of Information
Use as the preferred source of information a source forming
part of the resource itself that is appropriate to:
• the type of description (see 2.1
)
and
• the presentation format of the resource (see 2.2.2.2–
2.2.2.4
).
When choosing a preferred source of information, treat both the
storage medium (e.g., paper, tape, or film) and any housing
(e.g., a cassette or cartridge) that is an integral part of the
resource as part of the resource itself.
Treat accompanying material as part of the resource itself when
describing the resource as a whole using a comprehensive
description.
Treat a container such as a box in which a game or kit is issued
as part of the resource itself.
If there is more than one source of information that qualifies as
the preferred source of information for the resource as specified
under 2.2.2.2–2.2.2.4
, apply the additional instructions
given under 2.2.3
.
If information required for the identification of the resource is
not available from a source forming part of the resource itself,
take it from another source as instructed under 2.2.4
.
2.2.2.2 Resources Consisting of One or More Pages,
Leaves, Sheets, or Cards (or Images of One or
More Pages, Leaves, Sheets, or Cards)
If the resource consists of:
a) one or more pages, leaves, sheets, or cards (e.g., a book,
an issue of a periodical, a poster, a series of sheet maps,
or a set of flashcards, slides, or transparencies)
or
b) images of one or more pages, leaves, sheets, or cards
(e.g., a microform reproduction of a musical score, a
PDF file of a text, microform reproductions of a set of
sheet maps, or a JPEG image of a photograph)
October 31, 2008
5
use the title page, title sheet, or title card (or image thereof) as
the preferred source of information.
Alternative
If the resource consists of microform or computer images of
one or more pages, leaves, sheets, or cards, use an eye-readable
label bearing a title that is permanently printed on or affixed to
the resource in preference to the image of the title page, title
sheet, or title card.
If the resource lacks a title page, title sheet, or title card (or
image thereof), use as the preferred source of information the
first of the following sources that bears a title:
a)
b)
c)
d)
a cover (or an image of a cover)
a caption (or an image of a caption)
a masthead (or an image of a masthead)
a colophon (or an image of a colophon).
Exception
Early printed resources. If an early printed resource (or a
reproduction thereof) lacks a title page, title sheet, or title card
(or image thereof), use as the preferred source of information
the first of the following sources that bears a title:
a) a colophon (or an image of a colophon).
b) a cover (or an image of a cover)
c) a caption (or an image of a caption)
If none of the sources listed above bears a title, use as the
preferred source of information the first of the sources listed
that is applicable to the resource.
If the resource does not contain any of the sources listed above,
use as the preferred source of information another source
forming part of the resource itself, giving preference to sources
in which the information is formally presented.
2.2.2.3 Resources Consisting of Moving Images
If the resource consists of moving images (e.g., a film reel, a
videodisc, a video game, or an MPEG video file), use the title
frame or frames, or title screen or screens, as the preferred
source of information.
October 31, 2008
6
Alternative
Use an eye-readable label bearing a title that is permanently
printed on or affixed to the resource (excluding accompanying
textual material or a container) in preference to the title frame
or frames, or title screen or screens.
If the resource does not contain a title frame or title screen, use
as the preferred source of information, as applicable:
either
a) a label bearing a title that is permanently printed on or
affixed to the resource, excluding accompanying textual
material or a container (e.g., a label on a videodisc)
or
b) embedded metadata in textual form that contains a title
(e.g., metadata embedded in an MPEG video file).
If the resource contains neither a title frame or title screen nor a
source of information falling into category a) or b) above, use
as the preferred source of information another source forming
part of the resource itself, giving preference to sources in which
the information is formally presented.
2.2.2.4 Other Resources
For a resource other than one covered under 2.2.2.2–2.2.2.3
, use as the preferred source of information, as applicable:
either
a) a label bearing a title that is permanently printed on or
affixed to the resource, excluding accompanying textual
material or a container (e.g., a label on an audio CD, or
a model)
or
b) embedded metadata in textual form that contains a title
(e.g., metadata embedded in an MP3 audio file).
If the resource does not contain a source of information falling
into either category a) or b) above, use as the preferred source
of information another source forming part of the resource
itself, giving preference to sources in which the information is
formally presented.
October 31, 2008
7
2.2.3 More Than One Preferred Source of
Information
If there is more than one source of information that qualifies as the
preferred source of information for that resource (as specified under 2.2.2
), use as the preferred source of information the first occurring of those
sources, unless one of the conditions under 2.2.3.1
, 2.2.3.2
, or
2.2.3.3
below applies.
2.2.3.1 Preferred Sources of Information in Different
Languages or Scripts
If the resource contains preferred sources of information in
more than one language or script, use as the preferred source of
information (in this order of preference):
i) the source in the language or script that corresponds to
the language or script of the content or the predominant
language or script of the content of the resource
ii) the source in the language or script of translation, if the
resource contains the same work in more than one
language or script and translation is known to be the
purpose of the resource
iii) the source in the original language or script of the
content, if the resource contains the same content in
more than one language or script and the original
language or script can be identified
iv) the first occurring of the sources.
2.2.3.2 Preferred Sources of Information Bearing
Different Dates
If a resource other than a multipart monograph or serial
contains preferred sources of information bearing different
dates, use as the preferred source of information the source
bearing the later or latest date. 2.2.3.3 Preferred Sources of Information for the
Reproduction and the Original
If the resource is a facsimile or reproduction of an original
resource, and it contains a preferred source of information for
the reproduction as well as a preferred source of information
for the original, use the source for the reproduction as the
preferred source of information.
October 31, 2008
8
2.2.4 Other Sources of Information
If information required to identify the resource does not appear on a source
forming part of the resource itself (see 2.2.2.1
), take it from one of the
following sources (in order of preference):
a) accompanying material (e.g., a leaflet or an “about” file)
b) a container that is not an integral part of the resource (e.g., a box or
case)
c) other published descriptions of the resource
d) any other available source (e.g., a reference source).
When preparing an analytical description of one or more components of a
resource, treat accompanying material as a source outside the resource
itself (i.e., as a related resource).
Treat a container purchased or made by an owner or custodial agency as a
source outside the resource itself.
If information taken from a source outside the resource itself is supplied in
any of the following elements, indicate that fact either by means of a note
or by some other means (e.g., through coding or the use of square
brackets):

2.3
Title
Core ele men t The title proper and earlier and later variants of the title proper are core elements.
Other titles are optional.
2.3.1 Basic Instructions on Recording Titles
2.3.1.1Scope
A title is a word, phrase, character, or group of characters that

More than one title may appear in the resource itself (e.g., on a
title page, title frame, etc.; as a caption title, running title, etc.;
on a cover, spine, etc.; on a title bar, etc.), on a jacket, sleeve,
container, etc., or in material accompanying the resource.
A resource may also have one or more titles associated with it
through reference sources, through assignment by a registration
agency (e.g., a key title), or by an agency preparing a
description of the resource (e.g., a cataloguer’s translation of
the title).
For purposes of resource description, titles are categorized as
follows:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
f)
g)
h)
i)
j)
title proper (see 2.3.3
)
parallel title (see 2.3.3
)
other title information (see 2.3.4
)
parallel other title information (see 2.3.4
variant title (see 2.3.6
)
earlier variant title (see 2.3.7
)
later variant title (see 2.3.7
)
key title (see 2.3.8

2.3.1.7 Titles of Parts, Sections, and Supplements
If the resource is a separately issued part or section of, or
supplement to, another resource and its title as presented on the
source of information consists of:
a) the title common to all parts or sections (or the title of
the larger resource)
and
b) the title of the part, section, or supplement
October 31, 2008

normally used when citing the resource).
An alternative title (i.e., an alternative to a title proper that is
joined to the title proper by or, or its equivalent in another
language—e.g., The tempest, or, The enchanted island) is
treated as part of the title proper.

other title information (see 2.3.4
), and parallel other title
information (see 2.3.5
).

sleeve, container, etc., or in accompanying material
b) those associated with a resource through reference

description of the resource (e.g., a title assigned by a
repository, a cataloguer’s translation or transliteration of
the title, etc.)

custodians of the resource, etc.
e) corrections to titles that appear in the resource in an
incorrect form
f) part of a title (e.g., an alternative title or a section title

title proper.
b) For parallel designations of edition, use the same source
as the designation of edition.

release, level, state, or update (or its equivalent in another
language), or a statement indicating:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
