<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Georgia><span
style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Georgia;color:black'>There has been an
impressive amount of talented thought and insight so far on the discussion about
collector main entry, for which I'm glad. I know I will spend more time
perusing and studying the various messages and arguments. In the meantime, I'm
toying with the idea of considering collections of printed materials analogous
more to monographic series than to archives. The effect would be to confirm our
original proposal, to only give a name main entry when all items of the
"series" are by the same person or emanate from the same body. But
like Bob and Larry et al., I believe it is preferable to have principled justifications
for changed or new rules.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Georgia><span
style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Georgia;color:black'>Let me chime in, too,
about the importance of the concept of main entry. It no longer carries the singular
importance it did in the book catalogue days, but (I think this was argued by Michael
Gorman in an article I read way back in library school) there is still a requirement
for a "citation package." The need for a consistent, reliable, and
collocative way to cite works has not diminished. And since we are not about to
create title or name/title authority records for every item we catalogue, our
choices for main entry should satisfy this requirement. </span></font></p>
