246 VARYING FORM OF TITLE
 
 

This field contains varying forms of the title of a work, whether they appear on the item or not.

Tag 246 is a repeatable field, so several variant forms of the title may be added.

The following subfields may be used in tag 246, in the order shown:

            $i  Display text
            $a Title proper
            $n Number of part or section
            $p Title of part or section
            $b Remainder of title

Do not place a period at the end of field 246.

Omit initial articles (The, Le, etc.) from the variant title recorded in tag 246.

When misspelled words followed by [sic] or [i.e.] are present in tag 245, consider adding a Variant Title for titles with corrected spelling. The second indicator in tag 246 is blank.

When the title of an addendum varies significantly from the title of the main document, consider adding a Variant Title consisting of the title of the main document followed by the subtitle addendum. The second indicator in tag 246 is blank.

When a more complete and distinctive variant of the title recorded in tag 245 appears elsewhere than the title page, consider adding a Variant Title in tag 246. Specify the source of the Variant Title by using the correct second indicator.

Always record a Variant Title when the first word in the title proper is a number, either written as a numeral or spelled out, providing the other form of the number. The second indicator in tag 246 is blank.

Examples:

245 10 $a Family planning, fertility and development : $b the Mexicain [sic] experience
246 3_ $a Family planning, fertility and development : $b the Mexican experience
[Title with corrected spelling recorded in tag 246]

245 10 $a Civil and political rights, including the question of freedom of expression : $b report : addendum / $c submitted by Abid Hussain, Special Rapporteur on the Protection and Promotion of the Right to Freedom of Opionion and Expression, in accordance with Commission resolution 2000/28

245 10 $a Part-time employment (80%)
246 3_ $a Part-time employment (80 percent)

It is generally not necessary to make added title entries (246) for parallel titles of multilingual lists of participants when the only portion of the title that is multilingual is "List of participants" or "Provisional list of participants".

Example:

191 $a TD/B/C.II/MEM.1/Misc.1
245 10 $a Provisional list of participants : $b United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, Trade and Development Board, Investment, Enterprise and Development Commission, Multi-Year Expert Meeting on Enterprise Development Policies and Capacity-Building in Science, Technology and Innovation (STI), Geneva, 20-22 January 2009 = Liste provisoire des participants = Lista provisional de participantes

Variant titles are not added:

246 31 $a Liste provisoire des participants : $b United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, Trade and Development Board, Investment, Enterprise and Development Commission, Multi-Year Expert Meeting on Enterprise Development Policies and Capacity-Building in Science, Technology and Innovation (STI), Geneva, 20-22 January 2009
246 31 $a Lista provisional de participantes : $b United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, Trade and Development Board, Investment, Enterprise and Development Commission, Multi-Year Expert Meeting on Enterprise Development Policies and Capacity-Building in Science, Technology and Innovation (STI), Geneva, 20-22 January 2009


UNOG practice:

Consider recording a Variant Title (tag 246) when one of the first five words in the title proper is

-    an Arabic or Roman numeral or spelled-out number;
-    an ampersand or other symbol;
-    an abbreviation
with the corresponding other version in tag 246, if it is thought that some users might reasonably search by the other form. The second indicator in the above cases is blank.

Examples (UNOG practice):

245 10 $a Basel II : $b the revised framework of June 2004
246 3_ $a Basel 2 : $b the revised framework of June 2004
246 3_ $a Basel Two : $b the revised framework of June 2004

245 10 $a Election of nine members of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination to replace those whose terms will expire
246 3_ $a Election of 9 members of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination to replace those whose terms will expire

UNOG practice:
If the first word is a single year or span of years in Arabic numerals, do not add tag 246 for the year spelled out (it is unlikely that users will search by the spelled-out form of years).


Example (UNOG practice):

245 10 $a 2009 competitive examination for recruitment to the Professional category
Variant title is not added:
246 3 _ $a Two thousand nine competitive examination for recruitment to the Professional category...


For items including several works but lacking a collective title, tag 246 is used only for titles related to the title selected as the title proper, usually the first work named in the chief source of information. Titles related to other works are recorded in tag 740.

Titles of inserts, parts of an item, annexes, supplements, etc., that are included in the item but not catalogued separately, are recorded in tag 740 (Added Entry - Uncontrolled Related/Analytical Title).

If a variant title begins with an article in tag 245 (The, Le, etc.) the article is omitted in tag 246.

[Prior to Dec. 2003, variant titles for UN documents were recorded in tag 740 rather than in tag 246]



First indicator
The value of the first indicator in tag 246 in UNBIS is always 3.

Second indicator
The second indicator specifies what type of varying title is recorded in tag 246 (parallel title, cover title, running title, etc.), so it is important to record the correct indicator value. When displayed as a note, an introductory phrase will be automatically generated based on the second indicator value. If the second indicator value is a blank ( _ ), no display phrase will be generated. See INDICATORS for a complete list and description of indicator values.

The default second indicator value in Horizon is 1. Since indicator value 1 displays as the phrase Parallel title, staff must be careful to change the indicator value if the variant title recorded in field 246 is not a parallel title.

 

The second indicator value 2 should only be used for a single issue of a periodical that bears a distinctive title for the issue in addition to the title of the periodical.

If none of the display phrases generated by second indicator values are considered appropiate, enter a blank ( _ ) as the second indicator value. An appropriate display phrase may be recorded in subfield $i, preceding the variant title that is transcribed in subfield $a:
246 3_ $i Title on p. 3: $a Variant title

246 3_ $i Title from disk cover: $a Variant title

246 3_ $i Cover and spine title: $a Variant title

 

In order to display a variant title preceded only by the field name Variant title, without specifying a particular type or source for the title, enter a blank ( _ ) as the second indicator and enter the variant title in subfield $a. When a variant title is simply an alternate view of the title in tag 245 (for example, a variant title beginning with a number spelled out when the title in tag 245 begins with a numeral), enter a blank ( _ ) as the second indicator.

245 10 $a Journal of conflict & security law
246 3_ $a Journal of conflict and security law
