Hello
RDA gives an order of preferred sources of information for statements of responsibility. Is this order to be invoked only if essentially the same statements of responsibility (i.e., with the same information) are found on more than one source? Or does it mean that if you take statements from one source you should not also take quite different statements from another? In a MARC context: if editor-of-compilation is mentioned on title page, contributors a little further in, translator on colophon and illustrator on publisher's website, should all these statements (assuming they are all wanted) go in 245 $c? My own preference would be to give all statements other than the one from the preferred source as quoted notes, because stringing them all together might well interfere with identification. However, this approach does not seem to be justified by the definition of "note on statement of responsibility" [2.20.3].
