Occurrence

Optional. Repeatable.

Indicators

Indicator 2: blank (not defined)

Subfields

$a Parallel Title

The chief title of the item in a language and/or script relating to the title proper in 200 $a and excluding any other title information in that language. (Optional and not repeatable)

$e Other Title Information

Subtitles and other title information that appear subordinate to the parallel title in $a and are required as part of the access point or note. (Optional and repeatable)

$h Number of Part

The section or part numbering for items which are identified by a main title and a subsection title, and relate to the parallel title in $a. (Optional and repeatable)

$i Name of Part

The section or part name for items which are identified by a main title and a subsection title and are in the same language as the parallel title in $a. (Optional and repeatable)

$j Volume or Dates associated with Title

The part of a multi-volume work or serial to which the parallel title pertains. (Optional and not repeatable)

$n Miscellaneous Information

Text intended primarily for display in a note, e.g. 'varies slightly', 'paperback edition'. It will be placed in relation to the other subfields in the position where the cataloguing agency intends that it will display. (Optional and not repeatable)

$z Language of Title

Notes on Field Contents

This field should be used for a parallel title for which a note is to be created or which is required as an added entry. If indicator l is set to l, the data should be entered in a form suitable as an access point. This may involve removing initial articles and changes to prefixes or suffixes depending on the language of the parallel title. If it is desired to enter the parallel title as part of the statement of responsibility, this should be done in field 200 $d, and in 200 $e, if there is parallel other title information. If it is desired to create a note, the print constant 'Parallel title' or its equivalent in another language may be generated.
