<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">I do not think that option B is completely crazy. There is merit to keeping title proper strictly as a transcription field for identification of manifestations.
(As a case in point…at my institution, we have had several discussions about devising titles for digital images that lack formal titles; with some arguing we are misrepresenting the object by supplying a title. In the end, the uselessness of having thousands
of images titled “untitled” swayed everyone to the necessity of devising titles.)<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">The difficulty lies in that we have a tradition of treating the title proper as the title. A lot of our current systems do not properly handle situations
where the title proper and preferred title differ. (We periodically get requests from Reference to turn off 130s and 240s because they confuse patrons.) For that reason, I am not quite ready to support making the tittle proper a field that could potentially
be empty and am leaning slightly towards option A. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
