Is there a parallel rule in RDA? " RDA rule 2.4.2.2 instructs us to take statements of responsibility from various sources, including "...one of the other sources of information specified under 2.2.4". RDA 2.2.4 gives us latitude to take those statements from any source, including reference sources, published descriptions of the work, containers or accompanying material. This essentially gives us the ability to "construct" statements of responsibility in bib records, as long as we can verify the information somewhere. This information would be bracketed.
