Names of the Places of a Periodical Conference

Abstract

In the case of a Periodical Conference, a reader may seek a particular volume of it through the Name of the Place of the Conference. Highlights the inadequacy of the existing rules in CCC in regard to the inclusion of the Names of the Places of the Periodical Conferences in the Main Entry in a Catalogue in Book Form. Examines the propriety of including this information in the different sections of the Main Entry. Concludes that a Name of the Place of a Periodical Conference is best furnished against its corresponding Volume and Year Numbers in the Holdings Section. In the light of the above conclusion, suggests a set of suitable amendments to the rules in CCC. Distinguishes the Proceedings of Periodical Conferences, each volume of which has to mention the Name of the Place of the Conference, as a new kind of complexity in Periodical Publications. To deal with this complexity, suggests an elegant set of amendments to the rules of CCC. Gives a worked-out example according to the amended rules. Evaluates the treatment of the Proceedings of a Periodical Conference in the different editions of CCC, ALA Code, and Cutter's Rules.
