Concise AACR2rule 21A: Main and added entries

21A. Main and added entries

Use rules 23–29 to decide the access points (name headings and/or titles) that are to be added to the bibliographic description (see rules 0–11) so that the description can be added to, and retrieved from, a catalogue.
Use rules 23–28 to decide which access point is the heading for the main entry (other access points being headings for added entries). If, however, your library does not distinguish between main entries and added entries, treat all access points as equal and use rules 23–29 to tell you which and how many access points to make.
Generally, each rule and its example(s) only cover certain added–entry access points. Additional added–entry access points (for example, series and title headings) may be required by the general rule on added entries (see rule 29).
