Compare the composer(s) and titles on the item to the record. This information can be found in the 100, 240, 245, 505 and 700 author/title headings. Verify that all the works on the item are mentioned on the record somewhere.
- If all the works were written by the same composer, s/he will be listed as the 100. If there are several works by different composers, one of the composers may be listed in the 100; otherwise, they will be listed in a 700.
- 240 might contain the title of the first work.
- All the works might be listed in the 245, if there is no "collective title."
- The 505 might contain the titles (and occasionally the composers) of all the works. If all the titles contain the same word (like Symphony or Quartet), that word will be left out of the titles in the 505.
- This information will look different and appear in different fields in RDA records; go to RDA Guidelines for more information.
