A title proper may require title added entries. Title added entries should be made only when the conditions mentioned in these guidelines impact the first five significant words of the title proper.

GUIDELINE 1 -- & (ampersand) to and

When a title proper contains an ampersand in the first five words, make an additional title added entry substituting the word “and” in the language of the title proper.

Example:

TITLE PROPER: 245 00 A & B roads & motorways atlas of Great Britain

TITLE ADDED ENTRY: 246 3_ A and B roads and motorways atlas of Great Britain

GUIDELINE 2 -- Arabic numerals (excluding dates) to the spelled out form of the numeral

In English language title propers containing Arabic numerals, either cardinal or ordinal, in the first five words, make a title added entry for the corresponding spell-out form of the number, if that number is 100 or below and users of the catalog might reasonably expect that the form was spelled out in words. Also make a title added entry when an English language title proper contains a spelled-out form of a numeral for the numeral as a number (Do not use commas in numerals).

Example 1:

TITLE PROPER: 245 00 27 wagons full of cotton

TITLE ADDED ENTRY: 246 3_ Twenty-seven wagons full of cotton

Example 2:

TITLE PROPER: 245 00 Twenty-seven wagons full of Cotton

TITLE ADDED ENTRY: 246 3_ 27 wagons full of cotton

Example 3:

TITLE PROPER: 245 00 1 and 2 Thessalonians

TITLE ADDED ENTRY: 246 3_ First and Second Thessalonians

GUIDELINE 3 -- Century dates to the spelled out form of the numeral

In English language title propers containing century dates in roman or Arabic numerals in the first five words, make a title added entry for the spelled out form of the numeral.

Example 1:

TITLE PROPER: 245 04 The XXth century citizen’s atlas of the world

TITLE ADDED ENTRY: 246 3_ Twentieth century citizen’s atlas of the world

Example 2:

TITLE PROPER: 245 00 20th century literary criticism

TITLE ADDED ENTRY: 246 3_ Twentieth century literary Criticism

GUIDELINE 4 – Abbreviation vs. spelled-out form

When a title proper contains an abbreviation in the first five words, make an additional title added entry substituting the spelled out form of the abbreviation if the spelled out form is known and users of the catalog might reasonably expect that the abbreviation was spelled out in the title proper.

Example 1:

TITLE PROPER: 245 00 Mt. St. Helens

TITLE ADDED ENTRY: 246 3_ Mount Saint Helens

Example 2:

TITLE PROPER: 245 00 Messrs. Ives of Bridgeport

TITLE ADDED ENTRY: 246 3_ Messieurs Ives of Bridgeport

GUIDELINE 5 -- Incorrect titles corrected by [i.e. …] and [sic]

Title propers that have been corrected by the [i.e. …] and [sic] techniques should have an additional title added entry made for the title in its corrected form.

Example 1:

TITLE PROPER: 245 04 The wolrd [sic] of television

TITLE ADDED ENTRY: 246 3_ World of television

Example 2:

TITLE PROPER: 245 04 The Paul Anthony Buck [i.e. Brick] lectures
