Structure of bibliographic records series T

Note

Please note that the online newsletters (PDF) of the individual series of the Deutsche Nationalbibliografie (available via the start page of the catalogue of German National Library) as well as the option to export an individual bibliography in PDF format will be terminated 1 July 2025.

Overview

Series T consists of musical recordings. The subject categories included are also saved as bookmarks in the PDF file to make the Nationalbibliografie easier to navigate. Individual elements of multi-part publications are listed in their own subject category provided they have one; otherwise, they are listed in the same subject category as the complete work. Titles are arranged in alphabetical order.

Bibliographic records for musical recordings are arranged using the DDC Subject Categories for series M and T; DDC numbers consisting of up to six digits are taken into account so that search results can be refined still further.

Titles have been described using the Resource Description and Access (RDA) framework since October 2015. These descriptions are based on the International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD).
