The examples under "Optional Omission" are: by Harry Smith Source of information reads: by Dr. Harry Smith
Charles F. Hoban, Jr. Source of information reads: Charles F. Hoban, Jr., Special Assistant, Division of Visual Education, Philadelphia Public Schools sponsored by the Library Association Source of information reads: sponsored by the Library Association (founded 1877) The implication here is that the entire statement as found after "Source of information reads:" would be included in the statement of responsibility element, unless it is abridged per the Optional Omission.

From: Resource Description and Access / Resource Description and Access [mailto:RDA-L@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA] On Behalf Of Gene Fieg Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2013 10:52 AM To: RDA-L@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA Subject: Re: [RDA-L] S-o-R/RDA 2.4.1.4 Well, I thought I would go back to 2.4.1.4 and see what it says. It appears to be very much in line with AACR2. I did not see anything like the examples given in previous e-mails. Titles are omitted. They don't really add anything to the area of responsibility. I did see "Professors" used once, and that may be due the use of the last name. Anyway, I see no justification in RDA to include all of that other stuff mentioned in other e-mails. I looked at the LC guidlines (LCPPCs?) and they don't seem to include all that stuff either. On Mon, Mar 11, 2013 at 6:30 PM, J.

Such inclusions create difficulties in multilingual situations. With the exception of the loss of "[sic]", RDA's tendency to have data transcribed as found (with the exceptions of punctuation and capitalization) might be good. The goal of IFLA's Universal Bibliographic Control (UBC) was that descriptions created anywhere in the world (preferably in the country of publication) could be used anywhere. RDA's inclusions represent a giant step backward from that ideal. __ __ J.
