Yes. For one list is alphabetical order see the MRI 21.0D: http://special-cataloguing.com/mris/21 >... MARC relator codes for terms which are not named in RDA, such as Music >copyist [mcp]. Are we able to use relationship designators or terms such >as "music copyist" in a |e if they have a MARC 3-letter code, even if the >term does not appear in RDA? No. LC has said it will add MARC codes for terms in RDA but not MARC. Barbara Tillet (JSC Chair) has said proposals for additional RDA relator terms are welcome, but has not said terms having codes but lacking from RDA will be added. That would be a good place to begin. The code and term lists should be in agreement. > I have a print series which contains lectures, can |e performer >be used for lecturers/speakers when the lecture is in print form? I would say no. Why not just use "author"? The person is not lecturing, "lecturer" is not in the list; "speaker" is, but again, the person is not speaking in a print resource. >Can "Lecturer" be used as a valid relator term ... Unless it has been added since I last looked, no. It could be suggested as a term, but isn't there overlap with "speaker"? >We are cataloging a Great Courses DVD and course guide. We have the >lecturer and course guide author in the 100 field. What should his >relator term be? If s/he is speaking on the DVD, I would use $eauthor,$espeaker or $4aut$4spk. __ __ J.
