Definition |
The name given to the resource by the creator or publisher; may also be an identifying phrase or name of the object supplied by the contributing institution. |
Usage |
Transcribe the title from the resource itself, if available. If not available, supply a title. Add the line “Title supplied by cataloger” to the end of the Description field if only some of the titles in the collection have been supplied. When every title in a collection is supplied, a note to that effect on the “About the Collection” page will suffice.
End the title with a period(.). Capitalize only the initial first letter and proper names. Remove leading articles (e.g. A, An, The). |
