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 Transcribed, but 1.7, and 1.8:
- PoR/AaE–check the Core instructions:
  - data for this element is CoreBut: if the data has not been given as another element instead:
    - it is not ok if the core statement is missing (except for error or old cataloging rules); but
    - it is ok if a non-core statement is missing, unless other evidence indicates that the fact that the element is missing indicates a true difference
- AoR/PaE–check the Source instructions again:
  - since the Source for this element is or includes '[OSoI]': it is ok if the data is 'supplied' (i.e., in square brackets or as a note), but only if it seems applicable; but it is not ok if the data is not 'supplied' (except for error)
- 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
