Exercises (cont.)
4. The book that I am copy-cataloging does not have a title
page. How can I find out whether the title in the record is
correct? Should there be a note to indicate where the title
came from?
Option 1
Quick search on “title.”
The first hit in the list is 2.20.2.3 Title Source.
Go to that instruction which states: “Make a note on the source
from which the title proper is taken if it is not one of these
sources…”

Exercises (cont.)
Option a) in this instruction is for a resource of multiple pages
(i.e. a book) and has a link to 2.2.2.2. Go to this instruction
which gives the prescribed order to use when the resource
lacks a title page. One of these sources should have the title
used in your record.
Option 2
Quick search “title page” lack*
Takes you to instruction 2.2.2.2.
Quick search “title page” note
Returns a link to instruction 2.20.2.3
