Field 245 (Title and Statement of Responsibility) (NR)

The 245 field used as a heading in indexes consists of the subfields $a and $b.  In the BISON record display, the entire 245 field ($a, $b, and $c) is displayed.

·        Final: The entire 245 field ends with a period, even when another mark of punctuation is present,

o       unless the last word in the field is an abbreviation, initial/letter, or data that ends with a period, e.g.

·        245 00   Rubber world |h [microform].                                      245 10   Hearne Brothers official … map of … / |c G. Lee Graham [et al.].                                                                        245 10  Cosmic search.                                                           245 10  Annual report for the year ,,,

·        Comments: The 245 headings in the BISON OPAC index displays end either with a blank (the majority) or a period but I have not been able to determine what is the basis for the distinction.  Cf. the OPAC displays for the following titles:

1.      History and biography : an inaugural lecture.  |a and |b; the latter is followed by blank slash blank and subfield c in the record itself.

2.      History and biography : essays in honour of Derek Beales    |a and |b,  the latter is followed by blank slash blank and subfield c in the record itself.

3.      History and biography in ancient thought.  |a,  followed by blank slash blank and subfield c in the record itself.

4.      History and biography in the work of Erasmus of Rotterdam. |a, followed by a period and then by subfield c in the record itself.

 

Headings 1 and 2 are alike in structure in record but the first ends with a period in the index heading and the second does not.

Heading 3 has the ISBD punctuation of  / |c  but ends with a period in the index heading.

Heading 4 has a period at the end of subfield a and before subfield c; the period displays in the index heading

 

 

·        Internal

o       Subfield b (NR) (remainder of title) is preceded by

·        blank colon blank or blank semi-colon blank in  records created according to ISBD principles;

·        in pre-AACR2 records it may be preceded by any mark of punctuation (e.g., comma, semi-colon, period, exclamation mark, question mark) or none.

o       Subfield f (NR) (inclusive dates).  Preceded by a comma.

o       Subfield g (NR) (bulk dates).  Preceded by a blank space.

o       Subfield h (NR) (medium). In records formulated according to ISBD principles, the medium designator appears in lowercase letters and is enclosed within brackets.  It follows the title proper (subfields $a, $n, $p) and precedes the remainder of the title ($b) or statement of responsibility ($c) if there is no subfield $b.  It is preceded by a blank space.

o       Subfield k (R) (form) It follows the subfield $b (or subfield $a in records lacking a subfield $b) and may be preceded by either a blank or a blank followed by a colon ( :)

o       Subfield n (R) (Number of part/section of work).

·        In records formulated according to ISBD principles, subfield $n data follows a period (.). 

·        Multiple alternative numberings for a part/section are contained in a single subfield $n.

·        Subfield $n is repeated only when it follows subfield $a, $b, $n, or $p.

o       Subfield p (R) (Name of part/section of work)

·        In records formulated according to ISBD principles, subfield $p data follows a period (.) when it is preceded by subfield $a or another subfield $p. 

·        Subfield $p follows a comma (,) when it follows subfield $n. 

·        Subfield $p is repeated only when it follows subfield $a, $b, $n, or $p.

o       Subfield s (NR) (version) is preceded by a period or other mark of punctuation.

o       Subfield c (NR) (statement of responsibility) is preceded by blank in records based on ISBD (AACR and AACR2) but may be preceded by period or other mark of punctuation in pre-AACR records.

o       If record lacks a subfield c the final preceding subfield ends in a period or other mark of punctuation.
