Recently, the |g has seen an increase in use for the purpose of recording the author’s name as it appears with varying forms of the title. There is no basis for this practice nor is it standard practice for the 246 field. Looking in MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data by LC (or Bibliographic Formats and Standards by OCLC), the 246 subfield g is defined as “miscellaneous information”. That is, miscellaneous information regarding the variant form of title, not just any miscellaneous information about the book or its author. Variant forms of author name are the domain of authority records not the bibliographic record. Please stop using the 246|g for recording the variant author name as it appears with the variant tile. Thank you! Comments and questions always welcome, Best wishes, Jasmin --- Jasmin Shinohara Hebraica Cataloging Librarian University of Pennsylvania 131 Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center 3420 Walnut Street Philadelphia, PA 19104-6206 T. 215-746-6397 [email protected] Coordinator, Hebraica BIBCO, NACO, & SACO Funnels
