Title

Rule of Three : a case of discrimination against certain authors caused by the cataloging rules

Source

Cataloging and classification quarterly. 5(1985) no.4, S.53-65

Year

1985

Abstract

In cases where more than three authors share responsibility for the creation of a work, the so-called Rule of Three dictates that the catalog should provide added entry under only the first author named. This practlce discriminates unfairly against the authors whose names are not included and hampers those patrons who only recall the name of one or more of those authors overlooked by the catalog. Taking a historical perspective, this paper traces the origins of this Rule and exposes it as a form of censorship.
