Additional comments on Area 1<br><br>
My impression was that for this area, information taken from other than
the title page would be put in a note, rather than transcribed in
brackets. <i>Please</i> forgive me if I am wrong, or if the distinction
was made between outside the title page and outside the publication. Or
if we were just favoring notes over brackets, in which case these can all
stand. The next three comments relate to this question.<br><br>
1A2.1 General rule: "Enclose information taken from any other source
in square brackets and indicate its source in a note." This seems to
conflict with rules 1C1, 1D1 and 1E2 which instruct to transcribe
information not on the title page in a note, giving the source - ie. no
option to transcribe and bracket. Should the general rule stand?<br><br>
1E2: If a statement of responsibility appears on a source other than the
title page, or is taken from outside the publication, record the
statement and its source in a note - <br>
1E6: last sentence and example: If statements of responsibility appear in
sources other than the title page, also <b>transcribe them in the order
that makes the most sense</b>. example: El Fuero real de España /
diligentemente hecho por el noble Rey don Alonso noveno ; glossado por
Alonso Díaz de Montalvo ...<br>
-Do we mean transcribe <b>in a note </b>as they appear? Or
transcribe in the statement of responsibility? If we mean the latter, it
is contrary to 1E2. But if we do allow this, we should specify
"transcribe in brackets" in the order that makes the most
sense. <br><br>
Another instance is 1F2.1, last sentence: Adding titles of works on
different sources: If the publication has no collective title, and works
additional to those named on the title page appear in the publication,
whether or not on special added title pages, either transcribe the titles
of such works according to the provisions of 1F1, and <b>place them in
square brackets, or give them in a note</b> (see 7B16). ?<br><br>
other possible changes:<br><br>
1C1. second sentence "If an original title" - prefer "If
the original title" - <br><br>
<br>
1D4. I think the final reference should be to 1D2.3 rather than
1D2.<br><br>
<br>

Deborah, your editorial notes say you prefer "materials" over
"monographs" and this paragraph is titled "Multipart
monographs." I wasn't sure if you wanted to change it and as well
the same phrase within to “multipart materials” or not, but I thought I'd
bring it to your attention.<br><br>
<br><br>
1B1.1.<br><br>
End of line 4: insert "bibliographic" to read "areas in
the bibliographic record (or"<br><br>
<br><br>

Remove “Indicate” and insert “Record”<br><br>
<br><br>
1B3.4.<br><br>
Add “On” to “First page:” to read “On first page:” which will reflect the
form used in Area 0. While scanning down through Area 0 to see how the
source and transcription examples were handled as a reference for this, I
noticed that some example headings were italicized and some were not, so
that might need reviewing for consistency, for example: 0F2.1, 0G2.2,
0G2.3, 0G3.1, 0g3.4, 0G3.7 not italics; 0G3.5, 0G4.1, 0G4.2 in italics.
Someone else may well have already noted that.<br><br>
<br><br>
1B5.<br><br>
End of line 5: remove “Indicate” and insert “Record”<br><br>
Further down: change the first 2 of 3 “Note:” to italics<br><br>
<br><br>
1B6.<br><br>
Line 5: replace “When” with “If”<br><br>
<br><br>
1C1. <br><br>
Add boldface: “1C1. Order and source of parallel titles”<br><br>
<br><br>
1E5.<br><br>
Line 3: remove “generally” in “generally transcribe all the names
mentioned. <i>Optionally</i>, if the …” <br><br>
In my opinion it’s unnecessary, and I didn’t see it used elsewhere prior
to the <i>O</i> word when I quickly scanned except with D3.1/D3.2. If you
change 1E5, you may also want to remove it in D3.1. <br><br>
I sure like the Find tool for this editing – makes it much faster to find
words and phrases you want us to keep an eye out for.<br><br>
<br><br>
1F1.1<br><br>
Add boldface: “By same person or body.”<br><br>
<br><br>
1F2.1<br><br>
Line 4: change “give” to “supply”<br><br>
<br><br>
Use of “should” in:<br><br>
1G3. line 4 perhaps could read: In general, apply this instruction only
when …<br><br>
1G7. line 5 perhaps could remain as is: “and it is impossible to decide
which side should be read first, …”<br><br>
<br><br>
That's all I noted - congratulations once again to you and your
committee.<br><br>
