Jim, The element being discussed is the Statement of responsibility relating to title proper (RDA 2.4.2). So, before you get to this element, you have already selected the title proper. Then, you follow 2.4.2.4: "If a statement of responsibility relating to title proper appears on the source of

For a further wrinkle, I would also suggest to all that the next time you watch a movie, look at the credits and try to ascertain what the first statement is. And for extra credit, you can then figure out which of those are "identifying creators of the intellectual or artistic content" Greta d

Hi, all I have two questions about authorized access points for person/family/corporate body. Q1: RDA 18.3 says that creator is a core element. If there is more than one, only the principle or the first-named creator is required. It also says that other person/family/corporate body associated wi

Hi Joan, Regarding Q2, I think if the dates of birth/death are not needed to distinguish the person (and therefore not included in the *authorized access point* element), the dates would still be recorded as a separate element (e.g. MARC 046). -Arthur Liu On Mon, May 13, 2013 at 1:20 PM, Joa

If an "other" person/family/corporate body associated with the work is used to construct the authorized access point representing the work, then that *one* person, family or corporate body associated with the work is the core element. Another way to state this is to say whoever became the main e
