I agree that CIP shouldn't be considered a source of information. (Though I imagine all of us have, in a pinch, grabbed the ISBN from CIP at one time or another.)

RDA 2.2.2.1 says "Use as the preferred source of information a source forming part of the resource itself..." Is CIP data printed in the book "part of the resource"? Specifically, if the CIP includes an edition statement that does not appear anywhere else in the volume, should it be included in the bibliographic record? -- ________________________________________________________ Michael L.
