LC-PCC policy statements for authorized access point for work

LC/PCC Core for authority records in the LC/NAF.

LC practice: LC does not give "controlled" access points for series in new LC original cataloging bibliographic records, does not update series authorized access points in existing bibliographic records, and does not consult, make, or update series authority records. LC will "pass through" the series information already in bibliographic records used by LC as copy.

PCC practice: Searching for series authority records, creating a Work: authorized access point for work for the series, including when applicable the Work: numbering within sequence, and the creation and maintenance of series authority records are optional.

Do not change the value of the Agent: authorized access point for agent that is the basis of the Work: authorized access point for work when subsequent volumes indicate additional creators are involved. Record the additional creators, when considered important, with Work: note on work and/or Agent: authorized access point for agent.
