FIELD DEFINITION AND SCOPE
Varying forms of the title appearing on different parts of an item or a portion of the
title proper, or an alternative form of the title when the form differs substantially
from the title statement in field 245 and if they contribute to the further
identification of the item.
For items including several works but lacking a collective title, field 246 is used only
for titles related to the title selected as the title proper, usually the first work
named in the chief source of information. Titles related to other works are recorded in
field 740 (Added Entry-Uncontrolled Related/Analytical Title) or one of the other 7XX
(Added Entry) fields.
When displayed/printed as a note, varying forms of titles are usually preceded by an
introductory term or phrase that is generated as a display constant based on the second
indicator value.
