for rules on capitalization.
However do not transcribe introductory words that are not
intended to be part of the title.
1B2
If the name of an author, publisher, etc, is an integral part of
the title proper, record it as such. Do not repeat the name in a

is a part of a larger bibliographic entity (for
example, a volume of a multi-volume set,
a disc that is part of a set of discs, as serial

serial)
- or is a supplement to
another publication
- and the title proper consists of the title of the
larger publication and an indication of the part or
supplement
- and the parts of the title
are not linked grammatically,
give the title proper as the title of the larger publication
followed by the indication of the part.
1B5
If the title proper of a serial includes a date or numbering
that varies from issue to issue, omit this date or
numbering. Indicate the omission by …
unless the date or
numbering occurs at the beginning of the title.
1B6
If there is no chief source of information
(for example, a book without a title page),
supply a title proper (in this order of
preference) from the rest of the bibliographical
resource, from its accompanying material, or
from elsewhere (for example, a reference source).
If no title can be found anywhere, make up a
brief descriptive title yourself. Give
a supplied or made-up title in square brackets
and make a note (see rule
7B5).
1B7
If the title appears in two or more languages,
use the one that is in the main language of the
bibliographic resource as the title proper.
If there is more than one main language, use
the title that appears first.

If the title proper of a multi-part resource changes between
parts, retain the title proper of the first or earliest part,
and give the later title in a note (see also rule
22B).
1B9
If the title proper of a serial changes, make a new description,
and give the earlier title in a note (see also rule
22C). Close the earlier description.
1B10
If the title proper of an integrating resource changes, replace
the former title proper with the new title proper and give the
earlier title in a note. (see also rule
22D).

encyclopedia), give the general material designation appropriate
to the reproduction (for example, in the case of a map on a
slide, give [slide]
.
1C3
1D Parallel titles 245$b
If the title appears in the chief source of information
in two or more languages choose one of these as the title
proper (see rule
1B7). Give
one other title (the one appearing first or one of the
following the title proper) as the parallel title
1E Other title information 245$b
1E1
Transcribe other title information (for example, a subtitle)
appearing in the chief source of information.
1E2
If there is more than one subtitle (or unit of other title
information) in the chief source of information, give them in
the order in which they appear there.
1E3
If that other title information is lengthy and
and dose not contain important information,
omit it.
1E4
If the title proper needs explanation, make
a brief addition as other title information.
When entering the other title information in 245$b, you have to
add the ISBD punctuation in 245$a. Thus if the other title is a
parallel title, add =
, if the other title is a subtitle
add ;
at the end of 245$a. If there is no added title
information, just close 245$a with /
. If there is such
information, put the /
at the end of 245$b. If you have
parallel title information, put the /
at the end of 245$h
rather than in 245$b or 245$a. When in doubt, check the “ISBD”
view of koha to make sure it shows the slash before the statement
of responsibility.
1F Statement of responsibility
245$c

title (see rule
1B2) or other title
information.
1F2 Other statements of responsibility
Give other statements of responsibility that appear in the
chief source of information in the form and order in which they
appear there. If the order is ambiguous, give them in the order
that makes the most sense.

information even if they appear before the title in the chief
source of information.
1F4

make-up artist, editor)
-

to personal names in statements of responsibility
unless omitting them makes the statement

1F8
Add a word or phrase to the statement
of responsibility only if is necessary
to make the statement clear
1G
Items without a collective title
1G1 With
predominant part
If a bibliographic resource contains two or more separately tiled
parts and lacks a collective title, make single description if one
of the parts is predominant. Used the title of that part as the
title proper and name the other parts in a note. When appropriate,
make added entries for the other parts.
1G2 Without predominant part
if no one part dominates:
either make a separate entry
for each part (see also rule
7B16)
or give all the titles in the order in which they appear
in the chief source and make added entries for all the parts
other than the first name as instructed in rule
29B8.
If you are making on entry for the bibliographic
resource and all the parts are manifestations
of work by the same person(s) or body (bodies),
separate the titles by space, semicolon, space
( ; ).
If you are making one entry for the bibliographic
resource and the parts are manifestations of work
by different persons or bodies, give the titles
and statements of responsibility in the order
in which they appear in the chief source. Separate the
titles and statements of responsibility of one
part from those of another by a full stop followed
by two spaces (. )
