I haven't had time to look at all the practice records, but my impression is that only a minority ofpeople are treating the title of the original edition as the preferred title of the work itself rather than as the title of a related work/expression. I think that LC decided that the original title should be the preferred title except when the original author has dropped out or there has been radical revision, and I rather think BL have decided the same (but haven't had time to look at their new documentation properly). Are any agencies taking a different approach? Best wishes, Bernadette P.S. The LC (and BL?) decision has the interesting consequence that in a MARC record the main entry is the first-listed author of the original edition, not the first-listed author of the work in hand. Logical, but a shock; and challenging to explain. ******************* Bernadette O'Reilly Catalogue Support Librarian 01865 2-77134 Bodleian Libraries, Osney One Building Osney Mead Oxford OX2 0EW. *******************
