[RDA-L] Author affiliations

Does RDA expect us to add more than author names to the 245, such as Esq., PH.D., Dr. and even the law firm lawyers are members of at the time the book is written? An example of a record that has caused me confusion is a pcc record cataloged by LC in OCLC, Trial techniques trials. I have

Adam, Sara and All : Hi -- I agree with Sara as well -- two separate works loosely, or not, aimed at two separate audiences. Based on the press release, it sounds as though *Cain's blood *is aimed at adult readers, and *Project Cain* at the teen/young adult audience. snip In September Simon

We have established a decision here to add titles, degrees, certifications, etc., as a means for patrons to judge the reliability of the authors. We are not, however going to add what I refer to as their 'current job titles/place of employment'. Kathie Kathleen Goldfarb Technical

Everett, Yes, that’s my take on the two works, although the author also describes one as a companion, or spinoff, of the other, so he seems to consider them related in some complementary way. I wondered whether I needed a designator like “companion to” or “spinoff of” or something like that.

Seems to me that the works are related directly to each other, not just indirectly via the creator. (For example, Peyton Place and Return to Peyton Place, both by Grace Metalious, are related to each other; but The Tight White Collar, also by Metalious, is not related to either.) If there is

Mark said: By the way, OCLC #825648041 has a fine example of an unjustified related title added entry. No note, no designator explaining why the 700 is around, though I guess it's the title of earlier editions. Someone in-the-know could invoke RDA 25.2/26.2 or clear up the matter in some other

Adam, I think there is value in doing so, since YA readers who enjoyed the book aimed at them might want to read the more complex version; conversely, readers who find the “adult” version too unpleasant might still enjoy reading a novel that dealt with its topic and themes. A common author

I do think the mapping is misleading. The point of RDA is to avoid scrambling of different elements for the sake of convenience. This was the rationale behind 264 and its various indicators, wasn't it? Why is it considered necessary to mix up font size with item subunits? Couldn't font size be
