[DCRM-L] Concern for collocation of Moby Dick artist book

Thu Nov 10 13:21:44 MST 2016

No, according to 6.27.2 if the part has a distinctive title then that title is the preferred title, and it is not appended to the preferred title for the whole:

100 1_ Melville, Herman, $d 1819-1891, $e author.
240 10 Etymology

In our current practice, since the contents of 240 $a is the same as the contents of 245 $a (in your hypothetical example) you could omit the 240, though there’s nothing wrong with including it.

In the authority record you could certainly have a variant showing the whole-part relationship:

100 1_ Melville, Herman, $d 1819-1891. $t Etymology
400 1_ Melville, Herman, $d 1819-1891. $t Moby Dick. $p Etymology

Thank you,
So, something like:
100 1_ Melville, Herman, $d 1819-1891, $e author.
240 10 Moby Dick. $p Etymology
245 10 Etymology / $c illustrated by Moussa Kone.
490 1_ Moby Dick filet ; $v no. A
830 _0 Moby Dick filet ; $v no. A.
Thoughts?
Cheers,

The 100/240 combination is still declaring that what you are describing contains the entire work. Since it doesn’t you need to modify the 240 to clarify what you are describing following RDA 6.27.2. This means either adding something to “Moby Dick” (like “Chapter 1”, etc.) if the section doesn’t have a distinctive title, or, if the part has its own distinctive title, using that for the preferred title (perhaps “Etymology” is an example of a section of Moby Dick that is known by a distinctive title).

Thank you Bob,
I should have included an example of what we were looking at doing. This is is where we've started:
100 1_ Melville, Herman, $d 1819-1891, $e author.
240 10 Moby Dick
245 10 Etymology / $c illustrated by Moussa Kone.
490 1_ Moby Dick filet ; $v no. A
830 _0 Moby Dick filet ; $v no. A.
There's no title-page or pages, but each issued chapter comes in a glassine envelope that is designed where: Herman Melville, Moby Dick, and the numbering are centered at the top and at the lower left is another portion that contains the chapter title, illustrator, and publisher that's as prominent.
Further thoughts?

Cheers,
Graham Skinner

This is inaccurate. The 100/240 combination states that the resource you are describing in the bibliographic record (a single chapter of Moby Dick) contains the entire work, and it seems it does not. This is not helpful to catalog users.

This would more accurately reflect what you are doing:

100 1_ Melville, Herman, $d 1819-1891, $e author.
240 10 Moby Dick. $n Chapter 1
245 10 Moby Dick, or, The whale. $n Chapter 1

100 1_ Melville, Herman, $d 1819-1891, $e author.
240 10 Moby Dick. $n Chapter 2
245 10 Moby Dick, or, The whale. $n Chapter 2

Also, I suggest that these individual chapters are not part of a series, so I wouldn’t try to contrive a series tracing to bring them together. Properly formulated authorized access points for the parts will do that (here, coded in 100/240).

Howdy all y'all,
We are puzzling over how an artist book we've received fits into the WEMI model vis a vis collocation.
The artist book is comprised of individual chapters of Melville's Moby Dick remaining faithful to the text, but each chapter is designed by a different artist. Each chapter is issued separately and presents itself as part of a monographic series. And therefore, we are cataloguing each chapter separately with the chapter title in the 245 and a series tracing. To provide collocation, we are adding a 240 for Moby Dick, but we are unsure whether this is correct in respect to WEMI principles.
Thoughts?
If you care to dig deeper into the work, here is a link to the series online prospectus: Moby Dick Filet<http://www.mobydickfilet.com/#about>.
Cheers,
Graham Skinner
