Rule 21.1B4 Mitch Turitz 09 Dec 1992 17:16 UTC
Addressed to Lee Leighton, Chair of the Task Force on Rule 21.1B4. Cross-posted to AUTOCAT and SERIALST. -- ed. ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Lee, I am responding to you by email because it is quicker and I have posted the question of Rule 21.1B4 on several lists to get as wide a response as possible. So far these are my reactions: 1.) In looking up example number 1 on your October 30 letter, I found both the 1985 and 1990 edition cataloged with the main entry under title, so I don't think that is a good example. The same for example number 3. 2.) I checked the book SERIAL CATALOGING HANDBOOK by Carol Leong for an example of the conditions we are discussing. On p.147 she discusses the problem "work entered under a subordinate name heading and the subordinate name changes (21.1B4 (CSB no. 15, p.9))" The record she gives as an example is OCLC#7635579 Oklahoma. Dept. of Human Services. Annual report / Oklahoma Department of Human Services. -- Fiscal year '80- . --[Oklahoma City] : The Dept., [1980- v. : ill. ; 28 cm. Annual Title from cover. Report year ends June 30. Continues: Oklahoma. Dept. of Institutions, Social and Rehabilitative Services. Annual report 0270-6008 (OCoLC)3301518 Has supplement: Statistical report (Oklahoma. Dept. of Human Services)0891-883X (DLC)85643090 (OCoLC)10502648 Discussion: If a work falling into one of the categories in rule 21.1B2 involves a parent body and its subordinate body, that work should be entered under the heading for subordinate body only if that body is named prominently in the chief source of information. If only the parent body appears in the chief source, even though the name of the subordinate body may appear in locations other than the chief source, the work should still be entered under the heading for the parent body (21.1B4). In such a case the subordinate body should be described in a note (1.7B6) and an added entry made for the subordinate body (21.29F). If an item is entered under the name of a subordinate body and that body changes its name, a separate record should be created, even though the title proper remains the same (21.3B). Thus, in this example, when "Dept. of Institutions, Social and Rehabilitative Services" changed to "Dept. of Human Services," a separate record had to be created under the heading for the new name, even though the title proper remained "Annual report" (24.1B). I am posting this to AUTOCAT and SERIALST in order to solicit other opinions from serials catalogers (and others) who wish to comment. I will forward any comments to Lee Leighton, Chair of the Task Force on Rule 21.1B4. (The discussion is in regards to the deletion of rule 21.1B4). -- ********************************************** * Mitch Turitz, Serials Librarian * * San Francisco State University Library * * 1630 Holloway Ave., S.F., CA 94132 * * Voice: (415) 338-7883 FAX: (415) 338-6199 * * Internet: turitz@sfsu.edu * ********************************************** As usual, should you or any of your opinions be caught or killed, the library will disavow any knowledge of your actions.
