Dear RDA-L readers, Although RDA to my knowledge makes no mention of the concept of main entry, discussion has taken place whether a heading for an editor might be tagged 100, effectively designating that heading as main entry.
Among other concerns, cuttering is affected. CSM G 53 Determining the Call Number, section 2. Shelflisting, refers to "... a Cutter number, frequently based on the first word of the main entry, usually the author's surname." The work in hand has two editors, who might both be tagged 700, or one of them tagged 100 and the other 700. Please send any comments to RDA-L. Sincerely - Ian Ian Fairclough - George Mason University - ifairclough43...@yahoo.com
