Corporate body as main entry: to justify or not Beth Guay 18 Oct 1996 22:19 UTC

Subject:  main entry

Serial Listers:
CCM mod.4, p. 33 has a litte chart which states: "The main entry does not
need to be justified."--I understand this to mean that if the title or a
uniform title is to be the main entry there's no need to justify. But what
about corporate bodies as main entries? As long as I've been cataloging (8
years) I've been jusifying corporate body main entries. I am not talking
about anonymous authors of monographs. Can anyone shed some light on this
for me? I appreciate your help.--Beth
