0B1 Single part

If a bibliographic resource has more than one chief source of information, choose the chief source according to the following rules
  1. Use the chief source of information with the latest date of publication
  2. If one chief source treats the resource as a single item and the other as part of a multipart resource, use the source that corresponds to the way in which the item is being catalogued (for example, use the multipart source if you are cataloguing all the parts in one description).
  3. If the resource contains words (written, spoken, or sung) all in one language, use the source in the language of the resource (for example, use an English title page for a book in English).
  4. If the resource is in a number of languages, use the source in the language occurring first in the following list
    1. English
    2. the first occurring in any language using the roman alphabet
    3. the first occurring source in any other language
