I think you have it correct. However, when it comes to RDA, I am far from a "specialist." :-) Carolyn Phillips Cataloging Specialist Grand Rapids Public Library 111 Library St Grand Rapids, MI 49503 cphill...@grpl.org On 5/10/2013 9:11 AM, Heidrun Wiesenmüller wrote [in part]: Which leads me to

Joan, perhaps it helps if you compare this to the rules for statements of responsibility. In 2.4.1.6 we read: "If there is more than one statement of responsibility, record the statements in the order indicated by the sequence, layout, or typography of the source of information (...)." Again

Sorry, for $a in 260 fields, probably no need for omission indication. If I understand 2.8.2.4 correctly, it tells us to transcribe more than one place in an order rather than the first one and picking up whatever we want. Unless there is an in-house guideline. On Fri, May 10, 2013 at 7:47 AM, Jo

3. do anything in between, i.e. record the first one and one or more of the others Does 2.8.2.4 tell us that? Ignore whatever we want and no indication? I thought that RDA or LCPS would explicitly state that. *If more than one place of publication is named on the source of information, record the

Joan, If we have to go back AACR2, why we do not have an option in RDA? Does an inclusion of a place in the home country make users more comfortable? Also, I thought that place of publication is one element no matter how many places are included. There is no need for an option. RDA essenti

Dawn, You're quite right that only the first place of publication is core. For element which are not core, RDA 0.6.1 says: " The inclusion of other specific elements is discretionary. The agency responsible for creating the data may establish policies and guidelines on levels of description a

Hi all, I am trying to clarify something about places of publication for a single publisher. Let's say you have multiple places of publication, let's say London, Toronto, New York (in that order). According to RDA 2.8.1.4 "Transcribe places of publication and publisher's names in the form in whic
