Hi Sarah,

Looking at the subfield e information in that bug, Dan says:

Fall back to the $e if there is no explicit relator code;

It sounds like you are proposing the opposite, use the $e and, if it's not available, fall back to the relator codes (subfield 4).

I would support that change in direction.

It sounds like an LP bug is in order! :)

If the bug is not the same problem as the one Tony is describing, it's very closely related. The bug does refer to the subfield e, the RDA terms, and it looks like that's what the non-parenthetical terms are in his example.

I would vote for ditching the parenthetical terms entirely. If there are relator terms, display them (subfield e). If there are not, but there are relator codes (subfield 4), translate and supply those. (Don't give codes, give terms.) If there is nothing, give nothing, just the names. The parenthetically supplied terms are usually not that useful and often are misleading, redundant, or both.

    Hi Tony,

    I think this is a different issue. The issue here is that we
    previously added (Author) or other relator information in
    parentheses for pre-RDA records. Now that we have RDA records, the
    record is also now displaying the relator information from subfield e.

    Hello everyone,

    Quick check if you have a moment?  I’m working on TPAC cleanups
    for our consortium and am noticing title results that include
    duplicate author notations such as this:

    *Hillenbrand, Laura,
    
<http://blanchester-training.cool-cat.org/eg/opac/results?query=Hillenbrand%20%20Laura;qtype=author>****author.
    (Author).****Herrmann, Edward,1943-
    
<http://blanchester-training.cool-cat.org/eg/opac/results?query=Herrmann%20%20Edward%201943;qtype=author>****narrator.
    (Added Author)*

    **

    Doing some digging around, this looks to me like Bug #958954
    (see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/958954)

    -------------------------

    Has anyone encountered this?  Do you think this bug is the same
    thing?

    I can fix this somewhat by going into the authors.tt2 file and
    removing the default label, but with that approach, if there is
    nothing in the subfield, then there will be zero notation after
    the author’s name.

    If I look at the details for the bug, Dan mentioned there was a
    fix released?

    Thanks in advance for any thoughts you might have!
