Successive resources:

Always make an addition in any of the following situations:

• to identify a category of work
• to identify a mode of delivery that is a distinguishing characteristic of the work, except for websites
• to identify a related agent of work, where the title is generic
• to identify the place of origin of work for newspapers, unless a place is identified in the title

Next, consider whether the access point, plus any additions that are applicable, matches a value of another access point for a different entity in the NLNZ catalogue, or the ISSN Portal if appropriate.

If so, make further additions to resolve the conflict. Choose the most appropriate value(s) from the options below to identify the access point for the work and distinguish it from the value of an access point for another entity. Consider the entire run of issues, and Work entity boundaries, and prefer an addition that will minimize the number of instances of Work.

See NLNZ guidance.
