CC:DA/MLA/2011/1 Changes to RDA Chapter 2 related to status of container as a source for description and to preference for collective title

Abstract

The Bibliographic Control Committee of the Music Library Association presents two proposals together because they are closely related. Proposal 1 establishes a collective title as the preferred means for identifying a resource as a whole; Proposal 2 clarifies the status of the container and accompanying textual material as potential preferred sources when they bear a collective title that the usual preferred source for a sound recording or moving-image resource does not.
