What you have here is what appears to be a good MARC field based on RDA
instructions in Section 8, "Recording Relationships between Works, Expressions,
Manifestations, & Items", including 24.4.2, "Authorized Access Point
Representing the Related Work or Expression". This is an access point, dealing
with the relationship between related resources (in this case the resource
being cataloged and the series of which it is a part).
Statement of responsibility of the series is an attribute of the manifestation
and is handled in RDA Section 1, "Recording Attributes of Manifestation &
Item", specifically 2.12, "Series Statement". Putting the series statement
into MARC, and using ISBD formatting, would result in something like this (I'm
guessing at what may actually be appearing on the resource):
490 1_ $a Healer series / $c Maria V. Snyder ; $v 2
