Work numbers for authorized access points

Music Cataloging at Yale [1] ♪ Preferred titles [2]

Work numbers for authorized access points for composers whose works are assigned numbers other than opus numbers or numbers in addition to opus numbers

See also Thematic catalogs [3]

Many composer's works are assigned work (or thematic index) numbers [4] in addition to or in place of opus or serial numbers.

For a list of thematic indexes currently being used in the creation of authorized and variant access points in the Library of Congress/NACO Authority File (LC/NAF), see the Music Library Association Cataloging and Metadata Committee's Thematic Indexes Used in Library of Congress NACO Authority Files [5]
