[DCRM-L] 245 $c question

[Cawelti, Andrea]

Fabulous!  Thanks so much Alison, you clarified why even SofR from t.p., grammatically linked to the title would be handled in this way.  I can live with that.

Andrea,

I am assuming that this statement of responsibility appears on the title page with the title? 


Unfortunately the $c does need to come last and this is not going to change with the DCRM(MSS) rules that are currently being written. The reasoning (I think) for the $k appearing after the title rather than after the SofR is that the form of the item pertains to the title and not the author/creator.


See the wiki for the DCRM(MSS) editorial group for the latest draft of the cataloging rules for Manuscripts:

under 2012 January 25 DCRM(MSS) (includes Areas 1, 4, 5, and 7 (in progress))

Subject: [DCRM-L] 245 $c question
 
Greetings all, we are revisiting our single manuscript item cataloging procedures, and I wonder how people are handling the 245 $c placement in ms. MARC records in the Existing World Order?? MARC currently directs us that "Once a subfield $c has been recorded, no further subfield coding of field 245 is possible."? They give an example in their discussion of the 245 $k clearly splitting the $c to the end:

245 14 $a The charity ball : $b a comedy in four acts : $k typescript, $f 1889 / $c by David Belasco and Henry C. DeMille.? [I've added spaces around the subfields for clarity.]

Breaking up the $b and $c has always seemed ungainly to me, particularly as they are so frequently grammatically connected.? Does anyone think this directive might change in the near future, or should I just bite the bullet?
With grateful thanks for your thoughts,
--?
