There has been an impressive amount of talented thought and insight so
far on the discussion about collector main entry, for which I'm glad. I
know I will spend more time perusing and studying the various messages
and arguments. In the meantime, I'm toying with the idea of considering
collections of printed materials analogous more to monographic series
than to archives. The effect would be to confirm our original proposal,
to only give a name  main entry when all items of the "series" are by
the same person or emanate from the same body. But like Bob and Larry et
al., I believe it is preferable to have principled justifications for
changed or new rules.

Let me chime in, too, about the importance of the concept of main entry.
It no longer carries the singular importance it did in the book
catalogue days, but (I think this was argued by Michael Gorman in an
article I read way back in library school) there is still a requirement
for a "citation package." The need for a consistent, reliable, and
collocative way to cite works has not diminished. And since we are not
about to create title or name/title authority records for every item we
catalogue, our choices for main entry should satisfy this requirement.=20
