OLAC Best Practice for authorized access point for expression

LC/PCC practice: See the Metadata Guidance documentation: Expression: authorized access point for expression: additional elements and designations.

LC/PCC practice: When the original expression and one translation are in a compilation, give an analytical authorized access point for each expression. If a compilation contains the original expression and more than one translation, give analytical authorized access points for the original expression and at least one translation.

LC/PCC practice: When two language editions are in a compilation, provide analytical authorized access points for each expression. If a compilation contains more than two language editions, give analytical authorized access points for the original edition and at least one other edition. If the original edition has not already been selected on the basis of one of the editions having been received earlier, select the first one in the compilation as the original edition for purposes of choosing the preferred title for the work.

LC practice: Apply this option to the authorized access point for the expression in the following situations:

1. music resources;
2. religious works;
3. translations;
4. language editions.

PCC practice: See PCC guidelines for practices related to translations and language editions.
