Re: Cataloging question: multiple titles/frequencies Michael.Borries@DOMINO1.CUNY.EDU 01 Oct 2007 22:50 UTC
The Quarterly Financial Report is probably best treated as a separate title, with 785 linking it to the Monthly Financial Statement. For the Monthly financial statement, see 21.2C2.b.vii, two or more titles proper used on different issues of a serial according to a regular pattern (a minor title change). Monthly financial statement should be the title proper, and there should be a 246 1_ $i Every third month has title: $a Quarterly financial statement, $f July 1963- Include field 780 to link it to the Quarterly Financial Report. Frequency is monthly. A 515 explaining that every third issue was a quarterly report would probably be redundant, since this should already be obvious from the 246, but I suspect many catalogers would have a different opinion. The "auditor's report" is less clear, especially without anything in front of me. You may be able to have an "accompanied by" note on the record for the Monthly Financial Statement and an "accompanies" note on the "auditor's report," but I'm not entirely certain about that (although it seems they should be linked). If you give the notes, you should probably also give a 730 and 787 added entry for the corresponding title (i believe that currently you need both for the same title). Michael S.

I'd like to know what my non-rule-stretching options are, so I'm hoping someone here can help me out. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have before me the following regarding the Marin Municipal Water District: Title: Quarterly financial report 3 issues, covering Jan.-Sept. 1961 Title: Monthly financial statement many issues, beginning Jan. 1961 * starting with July 1963, every third issue is missing Title: Quarterly financial statement many issues, beginning July/Sept. 1963 Yes, that missing every third issue from the "Monthly" has a corresponding "Quarterly". I'd really like to treat the two "financial statement"s as a single title, but for two problems: 1) I'm not sure whether that's allowed, or if so, how I would describe it; and 2) in addition to the above, I also have the following: Title: Financial statement Annual; have 4 issues covering 1961-63 and 1967 This is an auditor's report (the 1967 issue even has a cover title "Auditors report") but appears to be issued by the District itself So: if I treat the "Monthly financial statement" and "Quarterly financial statement" as separate titles, how do I describe the frequency of the monthly and the relationship of the 2 to each other? If I treat them as a single title, how do I describe it, and distinguish it from the auditor's report? And just how does that early "Quarterly financial report" relate? I've been scratching my head over CCM all yesterday afternoon and this morning and not getting anywhere. Any guidance anyone can offer is greatly appreciated.
