Dear PCCLIST readers, Since LC doesn’t create or edit SARS these days, perhaps someone who does can help. I wonder whether in the SAR below, the access point should be 1001 Sacks, Jonathan, ǂd 1948- ǂt Covenant & conversation because it appears that Sacks wrote all titles in this series. I’m also wondering whether it should have a SAR at all, or whether instead the SAR should advise treatment as a series-like phrase or as a title proper: · The only OCLC WorldCat record I’ve found that appears to have treated this phrase as a series is 939921664 Leviticus : the book of holiness (at my desk), for which has also been provided a field 246 Covenant & conversation : ǂb Leviticus – plus a 490 field and a variant form in field 830 Covenant & conversation series (which got me looking for a SAR: I don’t know how or why the word series got appended). · Some WorldCat records have that phrase as title proper, thus: Covenant & conversation, a weekly reading of the Jewish Bible (as recorded below in 670/2). On the title page of the book in hand, as well as the cover, that phrase is more prominent than “Leviticus ...” · OCLC 544287342 treats the title as a multipart monograph, but is incomplete and has a different publisher from the book in hand. Three volumes are available (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus): and cataloging them individually permits each one to be classed separately within LCC, which is a more user-friendly approach, collocating them with other commentaries on each Bible book. Please forward this email as appropriate. Also please note: I do not create or edit SARs (so don’t tell me what to do with this one!).
