[DCRM-L] CC:DA proposal: Sources of Statements of Responsibility

[Matthew C. Haugen]

Another proposal being discussed at Annual seeks to clarify instructions in
RDA 2.4.2.2 on multiple sources of information for statements of
responsibility relating to title proper.

The proposal hits on the need for additional clarity in this area, and
there are clear rare materials implications, but I'm having difficulty in
judging whether the proposed changes will have the desired outcome.

Discussion on this and other proposals is ongoing leading up to and
following ALA annual, so if you have any comments or suggestions, please
let me know.

For now, I'm inclined to suggest an addition to the proposed instruction at
2.4.2.2 along these lines: "Make a note on the source of a statement of
responsibility, or on any statements of responsibility if considered
important for identification, access, or selection (see 2.17.3)."

The proposal has gone through three iterations so far, if you're interested
in seeing these versions and the previous discussion:

version 1: 1/14/2015 http://alcts.ala.org/ccdablog/?p=1807
version 2: 5/21/2015 http://alcts.ala.org/ccdablog/?p=2001
version 3: 6/5/2015 http://alcts.ala.org/ccdablog/?p=2036

Thanks for your feedback,
