Should have said: "hold down the ALT key and type 0169 on the number pad ".

RDA says nothing about recording who actually holds the copyright, so, no, you wouldn't do that. Also you can use either "copyright" or "(c)". On a Windows machine, a quick shortcut to produce the (c) symbol is to hold down the ALT key and type 0169 (doesn't work with the numbers above the letters). b Benjamin Abrahamse Cataloging Coordinator Acquisitions, Metadata and Enterprise Systems 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 Karen Nelson Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2013 2:35 PM To: RDA-L@listserv.lac-bac.gc.ca<mailto:RDA-L@listserv.lac-bac.gc.ca> Subject: Re: [RDA-L] another (basic) 264 query What Dana has just posted is very helpful (great timing!) and I have just noticed that Mac answered a very similar one from me last time I was fiddling with some RDA bibs. Should've checked my saved replies, note to self. But I am still wondering about the issue of the author holding copyright ... does her name go in the second 264, if a second one is kept? Haven't seen it done so far.

Looking at the bib for Louise Erdrich's Round House, LCCN 2012005381. There is a 260 in this one still. I want to edit it to 264(s). So far, I have included: 264_1|aNew York, NY :|bHarper,|c[2012] or maybe [2012?] 264_4 |ccopyright 2012 My queries: Since the author is identified on the tp verso as copyright holder, do I include her in the second (copyright) 264? I don't think I have seen that done, but does not to do so imply that Harper has the copyright? Should the square-bracketed inferred date in the first 264 have a question mark, or not. LC had it in 260 without copyright symbol. Haven't checked the publisher's website yet. This level of question will give someone a laugh, if nothing else. Karen
