The 1st ed. listed Bales as primary author so presumably whoever created the record for the 2nd ed. preserved the main entry.
If you look at RDA 6.27.1.3 (Authorized access points ... Collaborative works) you'll see that the person with "principal responsibility" is assigned to the access point. (To translate from RDA-ese: gets Main Entry/1xx), but if principal responsibility is uncertain then choose the first-named author. So presumably the cataloger of #87852529 felt that even though the 2nd edition lists Hirsch as the first-named author, the fact that Bales is primarily responsible for the original edition is more indicative of "principal responsibility". --Ben Benjamin Abrahamse Cataloging Coordinator Acquisitions and Discovery Enhancement MIT Libraries 617-253-7137 From: Resource Description and Access / Resource Description and Access [mailto:RDA-L@listserv.lac-bac.gc.ca] On Behalf Of Wesson, Jinny Sent: Monday, October 28, 2013 2:59 PM To: RDA-L@listserv.lac-bac.gc.ca Subject: [RDA-L] Question about multiple authors on an OCLC record OCLC #87852529 Understanding Employment Law There are 3 authors, all listed as shown on title page (including the Univ info) in the 245 tag $c Jeffrey M. Hirsch, Paul M. Secunda and Richard A. Bales. This is the order shown on title page. The record shows Bales, Richard A. as the author in the 100 tag. I know in AACR2, I always used the first author listed on title page. RDA toolkit is confusing to me and I could not find information on this.
