Collaboration
Compilations
Two or more persons, families, or
corporate bodies are collaboratively
responsible for creating the work
The work is a compilation of works by
different persons, families, or corporate
bodies
• If nothing says who created what,
assume collaboration
• If preferred source indicates who
created what
• If in doubt, assume collaboration
• If table of contents, preface, program
notes, home page indicates who
created what
• If components in resource indicate who
created what
• The presence of a compiler or editor
• The knowledge that the creator could
not possibly have collaborated (e.g.,
they lived in different times)

RDA 6.27.1.3 Collaborative Works
If two or more persons, families, or corporate bodies are
collaboratively responsible for creating the work (see
19.2.1.1), construct the authorized access point
representing the work by combining (in this order):
a) the authorized access point representing the
person (see 9.19.1), family (see 10.10.1), or
corporate body (see 11.13.1) with principal
responsibility
b) the preferred title for the work (see 6.2.2).

RDA 6.27.1.3 Collaborative Works: Exceptions
• Exceptions to the Rule
– Certain types of musical works identified in 6.28.1.1
– Most moving image resources (named by preferred title)
– Some resources involving both persons and corporate
bodies
– Most serials
– Treaties, etc.
• The rule lists examples
RDA 6.27.1.4 Compilations of Works by
Different Persons, Families, Corporate Bodies
• If the work is a compilation of works by different
persons, families, or corporate bodies, construct the
authorized access point representing the work by
using the preferred title for the compilation.
– Generally, the title proper of the manifestation (245), or
– A title by which the compilation has become known (130)
• If the compilation lacks a collective title, construct
separate access points for each of the works in the
compilation.

Whole-part relationships for Compilations
Compilations with Collective Title:
• Give MARC 505 contents note (PS 25.1)
• i.e., There is no limit on the number of works in the
contents note unless burdensome.
• Give one MARC 7XX analytical authorized access point for the
predominant or first work when it represents a substantial part
of the resource; cataloger judgment if additional 7XX fields are
given for other works. (PS 26.1)
