⮚Determining the Title Proper
Determining the Title Proper of a newspaper, even if the preferred source is the masthead, is not always straightforward. For one, mottos, related titles, ambiguous title presentations, or statements of geographic or other intended audience may appear with the title in the masthead but are not considered part of the title proper and are not recorded in 245, subfield b. If the related title information is considered important, record it in a 500 note. If the issuing body appears in the chief source of information, record it in the 245 subfield b. (CCM: 33.4)
⮚Preferred Title
Newspapers often have very common titles (for example, The times, The herald, or The post). The authorized access point for the work, therefore, is often the preferred title (MARC field 130), followed by a suitable identifying element or elements needed to distinguish it from other works with that title. Do not construct an authorized access point to distinguish an online newspaper record from its corresponding print version, as these two manifestations are still considered the same work.
