See this name arranged as though written References from modified vowels are to be arranged with the same vowels unmodified, while in headings for entries ä, ö and ü are arranged as though written ae, oe, and ue. (See Cutter, 299.) 62-66 COMPILER, EDITOR OR TRANSLATOR AS AUTHOR 62 Main entry. See A. L. A. rules, 126. I Under this principle are generally included bibliographies, cyclopedias, dictionaries, genealogies, and collections of poems, essays, stories etc. by numerous writers, when some known individual is evidently responsible for the book as a whole. (See Cutter, 98.) 2 For the distinction between compiler and editor see definitions in A. L. A. rules, pref. p. 14. See also definition of author in Cutter, p. 14. Generally compiler is used for makers of bibliographies, dictionaries and genealogies; editor for cyclopedias; either compiler or editor for collections of poetry or prose, according to whether the work has been merely collecting or has included also editorial work in the way of notes, important introductions etc. Translator is used when the maker of a collection has also translated it into a different language. While these suggestions cover in a general way the use of the terms it is usually best in choosing to be guided by the phraseology of the title-page unless there is strong reason to the contrary, but remembering that the maker of such works as indicated above is generally regarded as something else than an author, even though not specifically designated on the title-page. 63 Treatment of name. When the main entry is made under the name of a compiler, editor or translator, this name is treated on all cards, in every respect (i. e. indention, fulness etc.) as though it were the name of the author of the book, except that in the case of persons (but not of corporate bodies) it is followed after one centimeter space by the abbreviation comp., ed. or tr. as the case requires. (See A. L. A. rules, 57.) Except in some name references, all names used in headings on the cards, (except the second and third authors in a joint author heading) whether representing author, compiler, editor, illustrator, translator, general secondary or subject, are written in author fulness, including professional titles and titles of honor, in order that the form may be identical with that used for the same person if he appears as author. 64 Title, imprint, collation etc. For both main and added entry cards, follow the same directions as for books of simple authorship. 65 Compiler etc. in the secondary relation. For treatment in the secondary relation, in contrast with the treatment as author described above, see sections 39-43. 66 Joint compilers etc. as authors. Treat as in the case of joint authors except for the use of the abbreviation comp., ed. or tr. at the end of the heading, one centimeter after the combination of names, not after the first alone. Notice the difference in treatment between two or more compilers or editors etc. as authors and two or more editors etc. in the secondary relation (section 42). 62-66 Sample cards Main card 016.822 M14 016.822 M14 McFadden, Elizabeth Apthorp and Davis, L.

When Method 2 or Method 3 for joint authors is used, instances of joint compilers etc. as authors should conform to the same method. SERIES NOTES 67-71 67 Definitions. See in A. L. A. rules, pref. p. 16, definition for Series, first paragraph; also definition for Series note in A. L. A. rules, pref. p. 16, and Cutter, p. 22. 66 ; 68 When given. Give series note for all series falling under the definition referred to above. These may be designated in the publisher's language, by the word "series ", as Pitt press series " by the word "library ", as "Seaside library"; or by some similar word; or a name may be given to the series without including any general term of this nature, as "Story of the nations." 69 Where found. In addition to the places mentioned in the A. L. A. rules (namely at the head of the title-page, on the halftitle or on the cover) the name of the series may appear at the head of an advertising page but in such cases should be used with caution, i. e. it should be carefully considered whether the phrase used is really a definite name for a series or simply a general descriptive term; as, Historical publications, Stories of adventure. If such a list appears with a title slightly differing from the titlepage heading, half-title or cover use one of these three; if the first words of the title-page heading differ from the half-title use the best-known form if that is clear, otherwise generally use the form given as the half-title, since this is more likely to furnish the full information desirable on the series card. Give the preference to a half-title or title-page heading over a title on the cover, as the latter would probably be lost in a rebinding. 70 Form. The form of name for the series in the series note should correspond to the heading used on the series card as described below (section 74), except that the form is often shortened for the series note, specially in respect to the name of the editor, which is regularly given on the series card but omitted from the series note except in the rare cases where the series is generally known by the editor's name. In shortening for the series note do not omit the first words or the significant part of the title. If volumes of a series are numbered the volume number may be included at the end of the series note, but is not generally important. Omissions in a series note need not be indicated by . . . ... 71 Position. Write the name of the series in () one centimeter after the collation on the main card and subject cards. Omit on other cards. Do not use brackets even if the name of the series does not occur on the title-page. Use abbreviation ser. for series in the series note unless the word occurs at the beginning of the name, or for some other reason is specially prominent. 72-74a SERIES ENTRIES 72 Definition. See A. L. A. rules, pref. p. 16, and Cutter, p. 19 and 22. 73 When made. While the series note is used for all series, make a series entry only for important series, which are generally limited to some specific subject; e. g. Bell's cathedral series, English men of action, Story of the nations, etc. Do not make series cards. for publishers' miscellaneous series, such as Everyman's library, Morley's universal library. 74 Form. See A. L. A. rules, 128, first paragraph. Read also the remainder of the section but remember that it is generally impracticable to maintain either a numerical or an alphabetic arrangement in a manuscript or typewritten catalog, and for this reason it is inadvisable to begin in that way, as a reader, finding a considerable number of entries systematically arranged, would probably overlook a miscellaneous group at the end, which might contain the work desired. Occasionally, however, a series (generally in history or fiction) has sufficient unity through the chronologic sequence of its volumes, to make it desirable that this sequence be preserved, and in such cases space for missing volumes should be left between entries. a Heading. Enter a series of which the editor is unknown under the name of the series; e. g. International scientific series. Usually enter a series of which the editor is known, in the same way, with reference from the editor, e. g. American commonwealths; ed. by H. E. Scudder; with a "see also" reference from Scudder, Horace Elisha; e. g. Books in this series will be found in this catalog under the heading American commonwealths. |
