<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-family:"Californian FB","serif"'>Hi, Erin
(and all),<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-family:"Californian FB","serif"'>
I agree that it's true that instructions for omitting lengthy parallel titles
are not specifically addressed in the DCRM manuals. And I agree with you about
the reason why: parallel titles are not (by definition, since they are
specifically excluded as such in the glossary) a title proper. For that reason,
they are not included in the rules for title proper. Instead, they are “something
mentioned in between ‘title proper’ and ‘other title
information’”--or, A Thing Unto Itself. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-family:"Californian FB","serif"'>
I have been vaguely worried about this as I have been going through our DCRM(M)
editing, but now you’ve really got me thinking. It seems to me that where
this got kind of “off track” was when DCRB (possibly earlier, but I
don’t have BDRB close at hand) did not include a “levels of
description” chart similar to that found in AACR2 at the beginning (the omission
from DCRB made sense, since I believe the rationale was that rare book
cataloging would always be done at the most detailed level). Unfortunately,
the issue of parallel titles is really only addressed in AACR2 in the “levels
of description” hierarchies (1.0D), then brought up again when detailed
further in 1.1D, giving guidance that referred back to the levels. Compounding
the present issue: all these hierarchies really address is “how many”
of these titles to include, not “how much” of them, so abbreviation
was not even a part of the picture. (Many music catalogers I know say
that drafters of basic cataloging rules for “recent & current material”
[as I call it]--from LC’s rules through AACR2--were not even considering
the more complicated presentations of multiple-language titles found in some
materials. [You can get just a small glimpse of this if you look at AACR2’s
5.1D, 6.1D, 7.1D1-2 [sort of] and 12.1D; otherwise the examples given in the
other areas are completely tame—and btw, they are not even addressed in
the Early Printed Monographs portion of Ch.2].) <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-family:"Californian FB","serif"'>
So, it seems that DCRM rules are based on a long-standing assumption that
catalogers know they should be applying the most detailed level of description,
so there should be no need to address the hierarchies of description. I wonder,
too, if it is possible that some drafters of DCRB felt that mention of levels
became doubly unnecessary when the Appendices included instruction on how to
create minimum records. This feeling could have intensified when DCRM(B) also included
“core records” in its appendices. (I do think it’s possible,
but I don’t know for sure.) No matter what the thinking was about that, it
seems apparent that there <i>was</i> a change in thinking. But with these
changes came no re-consideration of the definition and placement of parallel
title rules (which are still defined and placed “in between”).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-family:"Californian FB","serif"'>
If we decide to change the DCRM manuals, it could resolved by changing the
definition, then placing any rules on parallel title proper issues in with the “title
proper” rules and rules for parallel other title information issues in
with “other title information” rules, re-numbering each
accordingly. However, I believe that making such a change would probably be waaaaaaaay
too big to deal with at this juncture. Instead, perhaps we could insert added guidance
to 1C that, if parallel titles are lengthy, they can be abbreviated BUT 1) not
before the 1st five words and 2) not if each of the titles cannot also be
abbreviated at that same point (or else it’s not a parallel title
anymore). Something similar could be inserted for parallel other titles (1D6).
But I do see (just in writing this down) that all this might also end up being tricky!
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-family:"Californian FB","serif"'>
In its 1D rules, DCRM(M) has incorporated DCRM(B) text + the slight differences
found in AACR2 Ch. 5. However, my guess is that the JTG’s “music contingent”
would be pretty pleased to have parallel titles and parallel other titles more
specifically handled in DCRM(M) than they are now. But for the present (that
is, for the entire period of the first review by MLA and RBMS), we’ll be keeping
the DCRM(M) draft the same until (or if) anyone comes up with a workable solution… --Jain<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Subject: [DCRM-L] Omitting lengthy parallel titles<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Dear DCRM experts,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>DCRM(B) and DCRM(S) say "If parallel titles and
other title information appearing on the title page have been omitted from the
title and statement of responsibility area (e.g., because they could not be
fitted into the body of the entry, or because they were very lengthy), they may
be given here as notes."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>However, I can't find the corresponding instruction in
Area 1 that says it's okay to omit very lengthy parallel titles. There are
instructions for abridgments of the title proper, but by definition that
excludes parallel titles. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Am I missing something, or does an instruction about
abridging parallel titles need to be added to future DCRM manuals?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
