Editing

• Check the 'Source' instruction to be sure that you are looking at the correct source(s) of information on the resource
• If data on the resource and data as the element in the record are:
  • PoR/PaE–check the Data Entry instructions:
    • data for this element must be Constructed as instructed: make sure the data is constructed as the rules instruct
  • PoR/AaE–check the Core instructions:
    • data for this element is Core:
      
      • if the data has been given as a wrong element, move it to the correct element
        
      • if the data is completely missing, add the data for this element
  • AoR/PaE–check the Source instructions again:
    • since this type of data is supposed to come from a specified source, or sources, on the resource itself (see the Source instructions above), if you cannot find the data on one of those sources, either delete the data or move it to another element, e.g., an appropriate note
  • AoR/AaE–go to the next element:
    • but be sure to check the resource carefully, if the data for the element is Core, or if the data is important for differentiating the resource from a similar resource
• Check below, for any useful Notes

General Notes:

• If a resource contains more than one language expression of a work (e.g., the work in English and the same work in French, rather than a single expression that involves more than one language) construct an AAP for each expression by adding the appropriate language term from the Language of Expression to the AAP for the work (6.27.1.2)

Editing Notes:

• If a record is describing a resource that contains more than one language expression of a work, and only a single AAP has been provided to cover both languages ( e.g., Spanish & English) construct separate AAP for each expression, instead, by adding the appropriate language term from the Language of Expression element to the AAP for the work (6.27.1.2)
  • Note that it is LC policy, while in MARC, to not add the language term to the AAP for the original expression of a work, but only to the AAP for the translation expressions of a work.

Hybrid AACR:

MARC:

• Construct an AAP for an expression by adding one or more terms from the following elements to the Authorized Access Point for the Work; if more than one term is needed to break conflict between different expressions of the same work, add them in this order of preference:
  • Content Type
  • Date of Expression
  • Language of Expression
  • Other Distinguishing Characteristic of the Expression
• check the correct separating punctuation in an AAP:
  • for Content Type: before $h (. )
  • for Date of Expression: before $f (. )
  • for Language of Expression: before $l (. )
  • for Other Distinguishing Characteristic of the Expression:
    • Arranged statement for music: before $o (. )
    • Version (for religious works): before $s (. )
