And the searcher, in order to search successfully, would have to know this distinction in our use of a different qualifier for the same person under different circumstances, as well, I presume?

My understanding is that: If the illustrations are integral to the work, the person who drew/painted them is a creator, or co-creator, and so the relationship designator should be “artist”. If the illustrations are complementary to the work, and belong at expression level (they contribute to the realisation of the work), then the relationship designator should be “illustrator”. What is more debatable is how one decides whether the art is integral to the work. Could another artist could draw new comic strips for the same story, or new pictures for a juvenile picture book without changing it to a new work?

Or would one be using both terms? It's somewhat confusing to me. Jack Wu Franciscan University of Steubenville j...@franciscan.edu >>> JSC Secretary <jscsecret...@rdatoolkit.org> 11/23/2012 8:14 AM >>> Jenny, The LC-PCC PS you cite is in chapter 20, the chapter for contributors, and states the policy requiring an authorized access point for the first illustrator (someone with responsibility for the expression, not the work). If the person involved in your resource has responsibility at the work level as a creator, you would not be consulting chapter 20. Yes, the only creator-level term in appenidx I is "artist" because "illustrator" there is the term for a relationship at the expression level.

I think of children's picture books as being co-created by the author and the illustrator, and I believe it would be a different work if there were different illustrations, rather than a different expression. My reading of RDA is that if I believe a person to be a co-creator of a work, rather than a contributor to an expression, then the only available relationship designator for the illustrator is "artist". However, there is an LC-PCC PS stating "Provide an authorized access point in the bibliographic record for an illustrator in all cases of resources intended for children. Give the RDA appendix I designator "illustrator" in MARC 700 subfield $e." Can anyone help explain this apparent anomaly? Thank you Jenny Wright Development manager Bibliographic Data Services Ltd.
