But if the form of name in the entry changes, having transcribed the
form on the item is no longer redundant.
SLC made quite a bit of money in early days of automating, dealing
with clients' older records which omitted statement of responsibility
and/or names of publisher, when they were the same an an earlier form
of main entry, which had changed or become an added entry. As
another poster pointed out, the form of entry is not a static element.
The form of name on the item remains the same, and is needed for
identification.
If we are unwilling to accept redundancy between entry and
transcription, transcription is more important for item identification.
