[DCRM-L] Form of citation - 510 field

[Robert Maxwell]

Oksana,

Authors of bibliographies routinely refer to themselves as editors or compilers on the title page. But if you think about what they in fact did, they wrote the bibliography. That is, they are the author (a.k.a. creator in RDA terms). They are neither editing somebody else's work nor compiling a group of works by other persons. They are creating an original work (the bibliography).

Thank you, Valerie.
It's exactly the form I used in 510.
I was unsure because J.D. Haskell was the editor.

Oksana.

Oksana,
As I mentioned in my earlier email, the purpose of the 510 is to direct the user to the catalog record of the bibliography. I should also have mentioned that you want them to find the best record for the bibliography. I was too quick off the mark and used a pre-AACR2 record from LC to form the citation. There is a more up-to-date bib record that I should have used.  So the 510 should be entered like this:

$a Haskell, J.D. Maine, $c ###

Sorry for the confusion. (And thanks for catching this, Bob!)

Oksana,
The 510 should be entered like this:

$a Committee for a New England Bibliography. Maine, $c ###

Since the purpose of the 510 is to direct a user to the catalog record of the bibliography, the series info is not included because the user will see it when they get to the record.

Does this help?
