Enter the title of the work and tick the check-box where this title was found. If the title is from a source for which there is no check-box, write a note. If different sources give the same spelling for the title check the relevant check-boxes.

If there are variant titles, or the manuscript contains several different works, record all the titles here. When you press the "Save" button after entering a title, a "Different spelling/Alternative title" button appears. You can press this to get a new blank form where you can enter new title information. Just continue recording the titles you find, whether referring to the same work or to different works. Elsewhere in this database, there is a function for grouping variant titles and associating titles with the appropriate uniform titles.
