Re: [RDA-L] Relationship designators, LC and PCC Core

[Michael Chopey]

I don't know either, but in the LC original cataloging we're getting here (at least for monographs), it seems like it's rare for there not to be at least one relationship designator for every contributor, no matter what the contributor's role(s).

Regarding the use of relationship designators, right now the LC-PCC-PS for 18.5.1.3 states that their use at LC is only mandatory for use for illustrators of children’s materials only. Earlier this year, a task group called the PCC Relationship Designator Task Force issued guidelines that were accepted by PoCo, that stated:   “Include a relationship designator for all creators, whether they are preferred access points or added access points.  If the 1XX is not a creator, the addition of a relationship designator is optional.”   I believe a decision was made that LC was going to change the LC-PCC-PS and adopt this PCC recommendation, and I’m just looking for confirmation that this is so.   Thank you.   Roman S.
