Were there supposed to be an answer to my questions here from the JSC Secretary? I don't see that anything came through other than my message. Does anyone else have any text?

Are we allowed to use, then, the more specific terms indented underneath the relationship designator performer (which is in bold), or are we to use performer only, to cover all those types of situations represented by the more specific indented & not in bold terms? If we can use the more specific indented terms, how were we supposed to know that? I wasn't sure if we are allowed to use these indented terms, or if they're just further (and more specific) examples of what is meant by the bold faced code. If we can use these more specific indented terms, I think it might be helpful if RDA specifically said that following the definition of a bold faced term ("or you can use these more specific terms", or something to that effect). Using the example of the term "author", I see that there are MARC relator codes for the more specific terms librettist[lbt] and lyricist [lyr], but there isn't a MARC code for screenwriter, so I would not automatically assume that I could use those more specific indented terms as relator terms in a |e. There also seem to be MARC relator codes for terms which are not named in RDA, such as Music copyist [mcp]. Are we able to use relationship designators or terms such as "music copyist" in a |e if they have a MARC 3-letter code, even if the term does not appear in RDA? 2. I have a print series which contains lectures, can |e performer be used for lecturers/speakers when the lecture is in print form? Thank you for your help.

We are cataloging a Great Courses DVD and course guide. We have the lecturer and course guide author in the 100 field. What should his relator term be? Is $e creator sufficient? Though he isn't the creator of the DVD.? He is a kind of performer and author.? Using $e lecturer seems silly. The presence in the 100 field also would mean that the name would form part of the authorized access point for the work, but this is not appropriate for moving image works (Great Courses DVDs are cataloged primarily as moving image DVD videos, with the course guide being accompanying material). For moving images works, only the preferred title for the DVD is used alone for the authorized access point for the work (RDA 6.27.1.3), so the lecturer would not be found in the 100 field. As a lecturer, the person would be contributing to the expression, essentially as a 'performer'. In the list of designators under 'performer' are 'speaker' or 'teacher'. The designator ' speaker' is the best fit, as RDA refers specifically to the delivery of a lecture (as opposed to a 'teacher' who is providing instructions or a demonstration). The lecturer is also the writer of the course guide, so that is a clear work relationship. Instead of a contributor to the expression, the lecturer is the Creator of a work, specifically an 'author.' Adding these two designators to the lecturer in 700 field would be the best fit for the two roles: $e speaker $e author 2. Related note: Can the relationship designator just be left off entirely? Yes, but the person would not be found in the 100 field because the description is primarily for a moving image work. A name in a 700 field can have designators supporting relationships to works or expressions in the resource, but the 100 field is reserved for allowable names that can form part of the authorized access point for the work.
