Uniform Title Procedures for Copy Catalogers

Author:  Shirley Higgins
Revised:  April 10, 2000
Approved by:  Cataloging Committee 

Policy

1. UCSD will now use uniform titles in all cases, as defined by AACR2R and the LCRIs.  We will no longer limit the use of uniform titles for personal authors to authors on the "UCSD Uniform Title Author List."

2. Catalogers will now be responsible for verifying uniform titles and creating authority records, as instructed in the following procedures.

Procedures

1. Bounce the following types of UTs to Shirley:

2. Bounce music UTs to the Music Section.

3. For other UTs, assume that the UT on the copy is OK, unless it looks funny or conflicts with InnoPac.

4. The only types of UT which may not appear on copy, but which catalogers are expected to recognize and create, are translations and works published under varying titles (which are not revised editions).  See example 1.

5. Determine the type of UT you have and use the following procedures to verify the UT and create authority records if needed.


240 Translations and works previously or simultaneously published under different titles (such as simultaneous American and British editions with different titles, but not revised editions).

1. Search InnoPac for an authority record:

2. If there's no authority record in InnoPac, search the LC authority file at Innovative: 3. If no authority record is found, key a new authority record, using this format:

 100 [indicator] [author's name, as found in 100 field of bib record]. |t [UT as found in 240 field of bib record]
 400 [indicator] [author's name, as found in 100 field of bib record]. |t [title from 245 |a of bib record]
 910 [initials]

 See example 2.

 NOTE: Do not add references from 246 titles found in the bib record.
 NOTE: Do not create an authority record if  the 245 title matches the UT, other than the language subfield.  Simply  use the UT, with language, in the bib record.



 

240 Laws, collections of laws, constitutions, treaties, manuscripts, papal communications, liturgical works.  Other than manuscripts and treaties, which may also be entered as 130's, these works are generally entered under a corporate body (either a government or  a church).

1. Search InnoPac for an authority record:

2. If there's no authority record in InnoPac, search the LCAF at Innovative: 3. If no authority record is found, bounce to Shirley.  (The UT establishers will collect and evaluate examples and determine whether catalogers will eventually create authority records for this type of UT.)
 



 

600-611 and 700-711 With Subfield |t

1. Search InnoPac for an authority record:

2. If there's no authority record in InnoPac, search the LCAF at Innovative: 3. If no authority record is found, bounce to Shirley.  (The UT establishers will collect and evaluate examples and determine whether catalogers will eventually create authority records for this type of UT.)
 



 

630 & 730 Computer programs, radio & television programs, motion pictures, anonymous classics, sacred scriptures (Bible, Koran, Talmud, etc.), manuscripts, and treaties.

1. Search InnoPac for an authority record:

2. If there's no authority record in InnoPac, search the LCAF at Innovative: 3. If no authority record is found, bounce to Shirley.  (The UT establishers will collect and evaluate examples and determine whether catalogers will eventually create authority records for this type of UT.)
