If this is a dc:title metadata entry entered directly into the opf then "&" is the only correct way I know to handle that. It is an official xml escape sequence that is recognized and understood by html, html5, xml, xhtml, etc.

Alternatively, you can try replacing the "&" with a numeric entity "& # 38 ;" (without the spaces) but if "&" doesn't work I have my doubts that "& # 38 ;" (again without the spaces) will work either.

And specifically what do you mean, it doesn't work? What are you viewing the opf or metadata with that is showing it doesn't work?
