For now, deleting these instructions from Title proper:
1.21.39 Access points for title proper
1.21.39.1 Title access plays an important role in enabling users to identify and locate special collections materials. Provide access for the entire title proper exactly as transcribed, disregarding initial articles as required by filing rules (see Title of manifestation, 1.2.32).
1.21.39.2 For instructions on providing access points for variants of the title proper, see Variant title of manifestation (1.25.35).
This was creating confusion for reviewers, since this reads as instructions just to record the title proper in the 245. Jessica noted: "This is a holdover from Appendix F. Technically, we transcribe the title proper in the 245 as it appears. But in MARC this is also acting as an access point, and the use of the 2nd indicator allows for the omission of initial articles from indexing. I know that the placement of the instruction looks a bit odd here, since it's no longer in the separate appendix and has lost some of that original context. But I'm not sure where else to put this." Since it was causing confusion, the revisions group decided to remove for now and reconsider if it should be added earlier in chapter 1 later.
