Constructing AAP for Compilations in four parts
Pt. 1. Compilations vs. Collaboration
 Collaboration vs. Compilation
 Constructing an AAP Representing a Work
• RDA 6.27.1.3 -- One Work by More than One Creator (Collaborative Works)
• RDA 6.27.1.4 -- Compilation of works by more than one creator (Compilations of
Works by different Persons, Families, or Corporate Bodies)
 Whole-Part Relationships (505 Contents)
• RDA Rule 25.1 & 26.1
• Authorized Access points for Analytics
Pt. 2. Compilations of works by one creator
Pt. 3. Compilations of translations (Language
editions)
Pt. 4. Commentary, annotations, illustrative content,
etc., added to a previously existing work
Agenda
What are we covering today in pt. 2:
How to construct AAP for compilations of works
by one creator
- RDA 6.27.1.2 Works Created by One Creator
- RDA 6.2.2.10 Preferred Title for a Compilation of Works of
One Creator
- UCSD Local Practice
What will NOT be covered today:
 Compilations of translations (Language editions)
 Commentary, annotations, illustrative content, etc., added to a
previously existing work
 Musical works, legal works, religious works, and official
communications
Identifying Compilations of Works by One Creator
Two clues:
• It’s a Compilation:
a resource contains more than one work
• It’s by a Single Creator
a resource contains more than one work by
the same single creator
RDA 6.27.1.2 Constructing AAP for Works Created by
One Creator
RDA 6.27.1.2 Work Created by One Creator
6.27.1.2 Works Created by One Person, Family, or
Corporate Body
If:
one person, family, or corporate body is responsible for creating
the work (see 19.2.1.1),
Then:
Construct the authorized access point representing the work by
combining (in this order)
a) the authorized access point representing that person (see
9.19.1), family (see 10.10.1), or corporate body (see
11.13.1), as applicable
b) the preferred title for the work (see 6.2.2)
What about Compilations of Works by One Creator?
You will apply the same instruction:
RDA 6.27.1.2
Construct the authorized access point representing the work
by combining (in this order):
a)
b)
the authorized access point representing that person (see 9.19.1),
family (see 10.10.1), or corporate body (see 11.13.1), as applicable
the preferred title for the work (see 6.2.2)
Specifically: See RDA 6.2.2.10 for Preferred Title
for the compilations of works by one creator
What about Compilations of Works by One Creator?
RDA 6.2.2.10 Recording the Preferred Title for a
Compilation of Works of One Creator
RDA 6.2.2.10 Recording the Preferred Title for a
Compilation of Works of One Person, Family, or
Corporate Body
• If a compilation of works is known by a title that is
used in resources embodying that compilation or in
reference sources, apply the instructions at 6.2.2.4–
6.2.2.5.
• For other compilations, apply the instructions at
6.2.2.10.1–6.2.2.10.3, as applicable.
RDA 6.2.2.10 When to apply?
Is the compilation known by a title?
• YES
– Apply RDA 6.2.2.4 for works created after 1500: choose as the
preferred title the title in the original language by which the work
has become known either through use in resources embodying the
work or in reference sources
– Apply 6.2.2.5 for works created before 1500.
• NO, use a conventional collective title (CCT)
– Complete works (RDA 6.2.2.10.1): Works
– Complete works in a single form (RDA 6.2.2.10.2): Poems, etc.
– Other compilations of two or more works (RDA 6.2.2.10.3):
• Works. Selections.
• Poems (etc.). Selections.
RDA 6.2.2.10 When to apply—LC Interpretation
• Moved away from LCRI 25.10, no longer ask if it is a distinctive
title
• Accordingly, LC also modified LC Classification and Shelflising
Manual 633 Literary Authors Subarrangement of Works, 1b.
Under AACR2: Separate works. Use for individual works, as well as for
collections consisting of works, such as poems, stories, etc., that are
being published for the first time while the author is still living
(disregarding previous publication in journals or periodicals).
Under RDA: Separate works. Use for individual works, as well as for
collections that have not been assigned an RDA conventional title
because the collection has become known by its title.
Note: Until 2013, collections consisting of works, such as poems, stories, etc.,
that were published for the first time while the author was still living
(disregarding previous publication in journals or periodicals) were classed as
Separate works. That distinction no longer applies.
RDA 6.2.2.10: How to Determine “known by a title”
So, how do you determine it is known by a title
• LC Interpretation (based on its training materials)
– Commonly known: Preferred title is already established
under its original title
– If “this is the first publication of that compilation, do not
consider the question of ‘commonly known’ and add a
240 with a conventional collective title.”
• UCSD alternative
– A compilation consisting of works, such as poems, stories,
etc., that is being published for the first time, and
– Title is known by its author, publishers, readers, on the
web, in a bookstore, etc.
RDA 6.2.2.10: how to determine “known by a title”
Example 1. Preferred title is established under its original
title
Authority record:
1001 Whitman, Walt, ǂd 1819-1892. ǂt Leaves of grass
Yes, it is known by a title, apply 6.2.2.4 or 6.2.2.5.
Bibliographic record:
1001Whitman, Walt, ǂd 1819-1892.
24510 Leaves of Grass / ǂc Walt Whitman.
NO CCT required
RDA 6.2.2.10: how to determine “known by a title”
Example 2. Published for the first time, preferred title hasn’t
established yet
LC Interpretation:
No: Do not consider it is known by a title, create CCT per RDA
6.2.2.10.3 Alternative
Bibliographic record:
1001 Erdrich, Loren.
24010 Poems. ǂk Selections
24510 I take back the sponge cake : ǂb a lyrical choose-yourown-adventure / ǂc Loren Erdrich and Sierra Nelson
Authority record:
1001 Erdrich, Loren. ǂt Poems. ǂk Selections
4001 Erdrich, Loren. ǂt I take back the sponge cake
RDA 6.2.2.10: how to determine “known by a title”
Example 2. Published for the first time, preferred title hasn’t
established yet
UCSD Interpretation and Practice:
Yes: Consider it is known by a title. Apply RDA 6.2.2.4
Bibliographic record: NO 240 CCT required
1001 Erdrich, Loren.
24510 I take back the sponge cake : ǂb a lyrical choose-yourown-adventure / ǂc Loren Erdrich and Sierra Nelson
Authority record: Do not create
Classification: Class by separate work, i.e. P-PZ 40 :
• P-PZ40 .xA61-.xZ458 Separate works. By title
*Copy cataloging: Accept the CCT on the record
RDA 6.2.2.10: how to determine “known by a title”
Example 2. Published for the first time, preferred title
hasn’t established yet
