Information:
Uniform Titles are works which have a main entry
(100, 110, or 111 tag) and are customarily used in
music, laws, treaties, liturgical works with an
author/composer, authored classics, and
translations. The 240 Uniform Title will generally
represent how the item was originally published or
it will establish an authority pattern to bring a
variety of works by the same author or composer into
a conformity for easier location. These conditions
happen when titles of a particular work are
published under different titles in different
countries or when a composer composes many works and
they do not have distinctive or unique titles such
as many concertos or symphonies.
The 240 tag contains the Uniform Title for a work
when the bibliographic record has an author (100),
corporate author (110), or meeting main entry (111).
This occurs when the work appears under varying
titles, necessitating that a particular title be
chosen to represent the work. Field 240 is not used
when field 130 (Main Entry - Uniform Title) is
present. Sometimes the 240 and 245 will be
identical.
Subfield n contains the number designation used in a
title for sequencing. Subfield p contains the name
designation used in further defining a title.
Subfield l contain the language of the present work.
Subfield h contains the medium qualifier used with
the title. This is optional. Subfield h is not used with
RDA. Subfield k contains subheadings such as
Manuscripts; Protocols, etc; Selections. Subfield s
contains the version, edition, etc. of the item.
Subfield d contains the date of signing for a treaty
or other ntergovernmental agreement. Subfield m
contains instruments, ensemble for music. Subfield r
contains the key in which the music is written. Subfield o
contains abbreviation arr. if work is an arrangement.
Subfield f contains the date of publication for the work.
This will generally be the last subfield in the 130 tag.
