[Classweb-users] Help with a Chinese literature translation -- PL2919

[John Hostage]

According to the authority file, this work should have the uniform title Short stories. Selections. English.

A2 is the second cutter for collected or selected translations in English.  The schedule says to subarrange by date, so I don't think A28 would be correct.

If the Lapse of Time were a single work, the second cutter would be based on the original title (Liu shi), e.g. L5, with an addition based on the translation table in the Classification and Shelflisting Manual G 150: L513.

> Hi everyone,

> I have book, Lapse of Time , by Wang Anyi. ISBN 7119033603. I need help to
> use table P-PZ40 correctly for this. The class number is PL 29 19.
> 
> I need help with the second cutter. I am thinking that since it is a translation
> of the original in Chinese, that the second cutter should be A2. Is this correct?
> From what I have done previously, I have only used "Separate works. By
> title" if one is cataloging the book in the original language. Is this correct?
> 
> I see an OCLC record #62791637 that has the second cutter starting with L.
> This seems unusual to me given what I see in the table.
> 
> Any assistance that you can provide would be most appreciated.
