1.1.4 Transcription
1.1.4.1 The title proper is transcribed from the prescribed source of information exactly as to
wording, but not necessarily as to capitalization or punctuation (see also 0.4, 0.6, 0.7). Exceptionally, a
very lengthy title proper may be abridged in the middle or at the end, if this can be done without changing
the meaning of the title, without loss of essential information and without introducing incorrect grammar.
Omissions are indicated by marks of omission.
1 1.4.2 Item without a title proper
1.1.4.2.1 When the item comprises two or more works without a title proper (see 1.1.2.10), the titles
of the individual works are given in the order indicated by the typography of, or the sequence of titles on,
the prescribed source of information.
e.g. Infancy [Videorecording] ; Childhood / Thornton Wilder
When the number of individual works is very large, the first three titles may be given, followed by marks of
omission. The complete contents may be given in area 7.
e.g. Dixit Dominus [Sound recording] : RV59 4; Stabat mater : RV621 ; Gloria in D major :
RV588 ... / Antonio Vivaldi
1.1.4.2.2 When the item has a displayed text but no title proper (as in the case of some posters,
wallcharts, etc.), the text is transcribed either in full or in an abridged form. Omission of complete phrases
or sentences is not indicated; abridgement of phrases or words is indicated by marks of omission. The
order of statements in the transcription is determined by reference to the character of the statements
appearing in the item, their typography and the layout of the item. Important parts of the content of the text,
such as the names of products or organizations and the names, places and dates of events, are retained.
Additional information on these or on any other aspect of the content may be given in area 7. Punctuation
is at the discretion of the bibliographic agency, except that combinations of symbols and spacing which
have a special function within this area of the ISBD outline are to be avoided.
e.g.
Emprunt national 1920 – Souscrivez – Banque de Paris et des Pays-Bas [Graphic]
Tales of wonder, no. 3 – The horror in the telescope, by Edmond Hamilton [Graphic]
Note: Transcription of text from enlarged reproduction of magazine cover
'Comment trouvez-vous ce petit vin-là ...' [Graphic]
Note: Caption title abridged
1.1.4.2.3 When the item lacks a collective title (otherwise than in the case of an item comprising two
or more works without a collective title proper, see 1.1.4.2.2), an appropriate statement is supplied in its
own set of square brackets using the language and script of the item, or optionally (particularly for an item
having no language) the language and script of the bibliographic agency.
e.g.
[Moon buggy] [Object]
[Phantom jet fighter landing at R.A.F. Leuchars, July 1971] [Motion picture]
