What Dana has just posted is very helpful (great timing!) and I have just noticed that Mac answered a very similar one from me last time I was fiddling with some RDA bibs. Should've checked my saved replies, note to self.
But I am still wondering about the issue of the author holding copyright ... does her name go in the second 264, if a second one is kept? Haven't seen it done so far.

Looking at the bib for Louise Erdrich's Round House, LCCN 2012005381. There is a 260 in this one still. I want to edit it to 264(s). So far, I have included: 264_1|aNew York, NY :|bHarper,|c[2012] or maybe [2012?] 264_4 |ccopyright 2012 My queries: Since the author is identified on the tp verso as copyright holder, do I include her in the second (copyright) 264? I don't think I have seen that done, but does not to do so imply that Harper has the copyright? Should the square-bracketed inferred date in the first 264 have a question mark, or not. LC had it in 260 without copyright symbol. Haven't checked the publisher's website yet. This level of question will give someone a laugh, if nothing else. Karen
