The RDA alternative implies that all the names would be in one field in MARC, which doesn't work; hence the LC-PCC PS not to apply it.

Your example is taking the first-named as the main entry and also encoding the other two. So the alternative means encoding all creators instead of only the principal? I thought that we would do the same thing when we encode the principal or the first-named as the main entry. And encoding how many creators is a "core element" issue. It is not an issue about the choice of main entry (authorized access point representing the work). That is why I was curious with the difference of the alternative. If they are in separate fields, is there an order requirement? And Library of Congress policy says Do not apply ???

RDA 6.27.1.3 does tell us if there is only one principal creator, the principal would be selected as the main entry. If there is more than one principal creator (or in doubt), the first-named would be selected as the main entry. I hope that my understanding is correct. RDA 6.27.1.3 provides an alternative: construct the authorized access points for all creators named instead of the principal. The specific rule is as follows: a ) the authorized access points for all creators named either in resources embodying the work or in reference sources; include them in the order in which they are named in those sources b) the preferred title for the work It has an example: EXAMPLE Gumbley, Warren, 1962– ; Johns, Dilys; Law, Garry. Management of wetland archaeological sites in New Zealand Resource described: Management of wetland archaeological sites in New Zealand / Warren Gumbley, Dilys Johns, and Garry Law My question is: how it works in MARC encoding? Any clarification would be appreciated.
