Mac says: "These are not reproductions in the sense that facsimiles are reproductions."
I think that is actually the crux of the matter here. What are printouts of electronic files really? They are certainly not the same manifestations as the originals because they have different carriers and that needs to be reflected in the description of the printout version (analog, print vs. digital). So who is responsible producing the printout version? And here, responsibility is not about intellectual and artistic content--that is covered by the Statement of Responsibility data--this is Production or Publication responsibility. So the question is, who has made the thing, and is it meant to be distributed (Published) or is it a single copy (Produced)? But the problem with printouts is that multiple entities can print exactly the same thing from the digital file. So this is, indeed, a grey area, and I would dearly love to know whether there is a PCC task force working on this issue yet. Deborah Deborah Fritz TMQ, Inc.

Record any publication statement relating to the original as a publication statement of a related manifestation." Try selling that to the provider neutral e-book folk. We have repeating 264 with indicators. There is no excuse not to have the content relevant information needed by patrons in a 264. An e-book provided by an aggregator, and a print-out from an electronic publication, both have publishers. The publishers are not the aggregator or printer. These are not reproductions in the sense that facsimiles are reproductions. __ __ J.
