Which of the following canon says that choice and rendering of heading should be determined from the title page and its verso :
Answer: C
This is the Canon of ascertainability.
Among Ranganathan's normative principles of cataloguing, the canon of ascertainability says that the choice and rendering of the heading should, as far as possible, be determined from the title page and its overflow pages (the verso), so that the cataloguer and the reader can check it from the book itself.
The canon of prepotence concerns concentrating the potency to decide an entry's position in the leading section of the heading. The canon of currency says that the name used should be the one current among readers. The canon of consistency asks that the same rules be applied the same way throughout the catalogue. None is about the title page.
