Since "Main Entry" was understood as a simply cataloging device for collocating resources in a useful fashion, the fact that what appeared in the 1xx (the conference) was not in the statement of responsibility did not seem to trouble anyone. But with RDA having banished "Main Entry" in favor of relationships, and having declared (19.2.1.1.1.d) a conference proceedings the "creation" of a conference (note how, in the AACR2 equivalent, 21.1B2, the phrase is "a work emanating from one or more corporate bodies", whereas as RDA says, "Corporate bodies are considered to be creators") there seems to be an (unspoken?) re-evaluation of this practice in favor of putting the conference in the $c: $a Biblitheken für die Zukunft, Zukunft für die Bibliotheken / $c 100. deutscher Bibliothekartag in Berlin 2011 ; herausgegeben von Ulrich hohff und Daniel Lülfing. I don't think there is a specific chapter and verse where this is stated but it's what I've been seeing in OCLC lately. Of course the real question is: is "100. deutscher Bibliothekartag in Berlin 2011" other title information, or a statement of responsibility? I think the answer is likely, "Both", so I'm afraid we probably shouldn't expect to see consistency in the way catalogers treat it.

Sorry, that was too much shorthand for a non-native speaker: Does "resp" here mean the same as "depends"? If so, on what - the layout? If you want to have a closer look, here's a scan of the title page: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2aFdx26Qi9sMDhIb1lZMFE2SlU/edit It's a typical case of conference proceedings, a collection of papers given at the so-called "Bibliothekartag" (the German equivalent to the ALA conference, with about 4.000 participants). My reading is that such proceedings originate with the conference, and therefore that the conference is seen as the creator. I apologize for being so insistent. But it's an example from my teaching collection, and I would very much like to get a sound RDA solution for it (or perhaps several acceptable solutions, if that's how it is).
