General Information

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.

Source of Information

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