  2. Choosing and Recording the Preferred Title for Series and Subseries A series as a resource is treated like any other work or expression. The instructions for choosing and recording the preferred title for series are the same instructions for other works & expressions, which are found in RDA Chapter 6, Identifying Works and Expressions.

  3. Choosing and Recording the Preferred Title for Series and Subseries RDA 6.2.2.1 The preferred title for the work  is the title or form of title chosen as the basis for the authorized access point representing that work. Other attributes may be added to the preferred title to formulate an authorized access point that will distinguish the series.

Choosing and Recording the Preferred Title for Series and Subseries General Guidelines on Choosing the Preferred Title, Works Created After 1500 Generally, for works created after 1500, choose the title: • In the original language • By which the work has become known • Found in resources embodying the work • See preferred order of sources of information in 2.12.2.2 • or the form found in reference sources RDA 6.2.2.4
