Jim, The element being discussed is the Statement of responsibility relating to title proper (RDA 2.4.2). So, before you get to this element, you have already selected the title proper. Then, you follow 2.4.2.4: If a statement of responsibility relating to title proper appears on the source of

For a further wrinkle, I would also suggest to all that the next time you watch a movie, look at the credits and try to ascertain what the first statement is. And for extra credit, you can then figure out which of those are identifying creators of the intellectual or artistic content Greta de

Dear Judy, Since retiring in 2003 I have not been closely following discussions of RDA. It seems to me that in some cases first statement of responsibility will be difficult or impossible to ascertain. I do not think it is far-fetched it imagine: 1. A bilingual text with one right-to-left

I think you are right. The last option in RDA is a melding of AACR2 and RDA. The original omission of Dr., for instance, had to do with the fact that the title did not add very much to essence of the area of responsibility (essence is a word may not be quite the correct word here). On Fri, May

Thomas, It's probably even less complicated than that. The name of the specific RDA element under discussion is Statement of responsibility relating to title proper which means a statement listing authors for separately titled pieces within the resource is not likely related to the title
