Check the 'Source' instruction to be sure that you are looking at the correct source(s) of information on the resource
If data on the resource and data as the element in the record are:
- PoR/PaE–check the Data Entry instructions:
  - data for this element must be Transcribed, but 1.7 and 1.8: the data must match word-for-word and letter-for-letter (except for exceptions, error or old cataloging rules)
  - if data is given in square brackets, it is 'supplied' data, and comes from outside the resource itself, and so can be accepted as given, for matching, as long as it seems reasonable for the resource
- PoR/AaE–check the Core instructions:
  - data for this element is Core: the data must either be present for both or absent from both (except for error or old cataloging rules)
- AoR/PaE–check the Source instructions again:
  - since the Source for this element is or includes 'Any': accept the data, but only if it seems applicable
- AoR/AaE–go to the next element:
  - but be sure to check the resource carefully, if the data for the element is Core, or if the data is important for differentiating the resource from a similar resource
