In AACR2, you used brackets for information not on the prime source.
In RDA you only use brackets if the information is from outside the
resource. In AACR2, you used one set of brackets for a whole field.
In RDA you use a set for each subfield.
Unlike AACR2, you should supply statement of responsibility if known.
If from outside the resource, indicate source in 588.
In the case you site, you do not need brackets, since the source is in
the item.
