Subfields |
Enter a translated title according to guidelines for the title in field 245. |
||||||||||||||||
ǂa Title | The title proper and alternative title, excluding the designation of the number or name of a part. Use subfield ǂa for the first title of separate works (by the same or different authors/composers) in a collection lacking a collective title. In records formulated according to ISBD principles, subfield ǂa includes all the information up to and including the first mark of ISBD punctuation, i.e., an equal sign, a colon, a semicolon, or a slash, whether included or not.
|
||||||||||||||||
ǂb Remainder of title | The remainder of the title information. Include parallel titles, titles subsequent to the first (in items lacking a collective title), and other title information. Do not repeat subfield ǂb when more than one parallel title, subsequent title, and/or other title information are given in the field. In records formulated according to ISBD principles, subfield ǂb includes all the data following the first mark of ISBD punctuation up to and including the next mark of ISBD punctuation, whether included or not. That next mark of punctuation may be a slash introducing the first statement of responsibility, a period preceding the number of a part/section of a work (subfield ǂn), or a period preceding the name of a part/section of a work (subfield ǂp).
|
||||||||||||||||
ǂc Statement of responsibility | The first statement of responsibility and/or remaining data in the field that has not been coded in one of the other subfields. In records formulated according to ISBD principles, subfield ǂc contains all the data following the first slash, whether included or not.

||||||||||||||||
ǂh Medium | Do not use. |
||||||||||||||||
ǂn Number of part/section of a work | A number designation for a part/section of a work used in a title. Numbering is an indication of sequencing in any form (e.g., Book two, Part 1, or Supplement A). Multiple numberings for a part/section are contained in a single subfield ǂn. Separate multiple numberings with a comma. In music titles, the serial, opus, or thematic index numbers are generally not contained in subfield ǂn.
