Guidelines
  • The first indicator specifies whether or not the uniform title is printed on the catalog card in a card production program.
  • A uniform title is the title chosen to represent a work when it has appeared under varying titles.
  • The 240 tag is used in conjunction with one of the main entry tags (100, 110, 111) and is customarily used for music, laws, treaties, liturgical works with an author or composer, authored classics, and translations.
  • This tag does not end with a mark of punctuation unless the last word is an abbreviation, initial/letter, etc.
