View source for Two works issued together without a collective title

{{Toc right}}
'''Two works issued together without a collective title''' are usually found in children's books. Most common is the ''t&ecirc;te-b&ecirc;che'' format: two stories bound together such that a reader starts from the "front" cover and follows a story to the middle of the book, at which point the reader flips the book upside down and starts the other story from the "back" cover.

See RDA 2.3.2.9 (Manifestation Lacking a Collective Title)<ref name="RDA2_3_2_9">RDA 2.3.2.9</ref> and RDA 3.4.5.13 (Pages Numbered in Opposite Directions)<ref name="RDA3_4_5_13">RDA 3.4.5.13</ref>.

==Main title==
If there are two title pages, use the title from the spine, or the title page or cover that does not have the UPC/ISBN on it. Separate the titles with a '''semicolon''' if both are by the same author.<ref name="ISBD1_6">ISBD 1.6</ref>

'''Example:'''
{{example|text=ocm55154066
100 1_ Numeroff, Laura Joffe, {{subfield|e}}author.
245 10 What aunts do best ;{{subfield|b}}What uncles do best /{{subfield|c}}by Laura Numeroff ; illustrated 
       by Lynn Munsinger.}}

Separate the titles with a '''period''' if they have different statements of responsibility.<ref name="ISBD1_6" /> There are no subfield codes for the second title.<ref name="marc245">MARC 21 format for Bibliographic Data. [http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd245.html 245 - Title Statement]</ref>

'''Example:'''
{{example|text=ocm60391430
100 1_ Thorpe, Kiki,{{subfield|e}}author.
245 10 My side of the story /{{subfield|c}}by Peter Pan ; as told to Kiki Thorpe ; illustrated by the
       Disney Storybook Artists. My side of the story / by Captain Hook ; as told to Kiki
       Thorpe ; illustrated by the Disney Storybook Artists.}}

==Added titles==
If the works have not been previously published separately, the second title should be traced in a 246 field.<ref name="RDA2_3_6">RDA 2.3.6</ref>

'''Example:'''
{{example|text=ocm55154066
100 1_ Numeroff, Laura Joffe, {{subfield|e}}author.
245 10 What aunts do best ;{{subfield|b}}What uncles do best /{{subfield|c}}by Laura Numeroff ; illustrated
       by Lynn Munsinger.
246 30 What uncles do best.}}

If the works were originally published separately, use the uniform title of the work that occurs first in the item and add an uncontrolled analytical added entry for the second work.<ref name="RDA6_2_2_4">RDA 6.2.2.4</ref><ref name="RDA6_2_2_10_3">RDA 6.2.2.10.3</ref><ref name="RDA6_2_2_12_2">RDA 6.2.2.12.2</ref>

'''Example:'''
{{example|text=ocm20931206
100 1_ Wahl, Jan,{{subfield|e}}author.
240 10 Dracula's cat
245 10 Dracula's cat ;{{subfield|b}}and Frankenstein's dog /{{subfield|c}}story by Jan Wahl ; pictures by Kay
       Chorao.

==Notes and form headings==
An explanatory note and form heading is needed if the second work is on inverted pages.<ref name="RDA3_21_2_11">RDA 3.21.2.11</ref>.

'''Example:'''
{{example|text=ocmocm51853326, ocm48942488
500    Works bound t&ecirc;te-b&ecirc;che, back-to-back and inverted.
655 _7 Upside-down books.{{subfield|2}}lcgft}}
 
An explanatory note is needed if the second work is not inverted but rather shares an internal "cover" so that both sides share the same "up" direction.
(There is no form heading for this style of binding.)

'''Example:'''
{{example|text=ocm55661421, ocm53967239
500    Bound dos-&agrave;-dos; book opens to the right from both the front cover and the back cover.}}
