That may be LC's intention. Playing devil's avacado, though, is a relationship designator "within [the] access points"? I've contended for a long time--based on nothing more than my gut feeling, really--that designators are outside the heading/access point proper. They're something else; "spelled out codes," I sometimes call them. ** > And see the examples given in MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data at:*** > * > > http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdx00.html**** > > ** ** > > Under:**** > > *e - Relator term***** > > Designation of function that describes the relationship between a name and > a work, e.g., ed., comp., ill., tr., collector, joint author. **** > > 700**** > > 1#$aSmith, Elsie,$d1900-1945,$eillustrator.**** > > 700**** > > 1#$aHecht, Ben,$d1893-1964,$ewriting,$edirection,$eproduction.**** > > ** > I'd be happier with explicit instructions over a handful of examples. Our shop works with OCLC, and Connexion forces the comma-and-full stop pattern mentioned above. My preference means nothing at the end of the day. We use what we get. -- Mark K.
