I. General Information

A. Definition

The 740, title added entry field, is used to record analytic title added entries for independent works contained within the item and titles of related works.

In MLP Processing these include:

titles of accompanying material

original title when item is reprinted under a new title

serial titles when item is an off print

title of original for translations

titles of items in a collection

Full Level Processing:

All of the types of titles listed above must be recorded as uniform titles in fields 240 and X30 rather than in field 740. A referral is required.

For varying forms of the title proper and titles from sources other than the chief source of information use field 246.

B. Source of Information

The source of information for the 740 field is the entire item.

C. Indicators and Subfields

First indicator

0-9 Nonfiling characters

Second indicator

[blank] (default)
(2 is also valid in US MARC format for an analytical entry.)

Subfields

|a Title
|n Number of part/section of a work (repeatable)
|p Name of part/section of a work (repeatable)

D. Capitalization

Capitalize words in the 740 according to the capitalization rules used for 245.

E. Punctuation

Use punctuation rules found in 245.

II. Transcription Rules

All 740s must be "justified" by their presence in another descriptive field of the record (e.g., 245) or by the presence of an explanatory note (5XX).

MLP Only: Original, related or translated title

Note that in full level processing, original, related and translated titles will be handled on copy as uniform titles rather than as a title added entry.
