LC/PCC practice: For manuscripts, title of manifestation should come from the name of a physical manuscript. Do not apply the option IF: the only source for the name of the physical manuscript is the resource being cataloged and it presents variant forms of the name of manuscript. Instead, use these sources in this order of preference:

1. the preferred source of information of the resource
2. other prominent sources in the resource
3. a form found elsewhere in the resource

LC/PCC practice: The name of the physical manuscript may change as new manifestations are published. Change the Work: authorized access point for work to match the new title of manifestation. The older title may be retained as a variant access point, according to Cataloger's judgment.

This applies to monographic series and multipart monographs that provide a full description of each unit, regardless of whether it is numbered or not.

PCC practice: Apply the option to monographic series and multipart monographs that provide a full description of each unit. IF: the title of a main series included in an existing authorized access point is no longer present on later issues or parts or the title of a main series not included in an existing authorized access point appears on later issues or parts, create a new description for the series work and link the two records with an earlier/later relationship.
