RDA-L readers, The second example might have the other title information and statement of responsibility data in more than one manner of presentation on a printed title page.
If, as Benjamin Abrahamse has already given, it is presented on two lines: Another Tome a novel by John Smith Then it might be recorded as: a novel / by John Smith on the basis that there are two phrases, not one, on separate lines, the first being other title information, the second a statement of responsibility. But if the presentation is instead an integrated phrase on one line, thus: Another Tome a novel by John Smith Then it can be recorded as: a novel by John Smith as an integrated statement of responsibility. This is the practice indicated in RDA 2.4.1.8. Perhaps, with this rule, we are at long last getting away from the practice of carving up such statements by inserting a slash, as was done for most of the duration under AACR2. If the above is contradicted elsewhere in RDA, now would be a good time to say! Thanks - Ian Ian Fairclough - George Mason University - ifairclough43...@yahoo.com
