[DCRM-L] Newspaper press as printer

[Ted P Gemberling]

Kaelin,
This is a tough issue sometimes. The guidance I’ve gotten from people seemed to say the best thing is just to create a 710 in direct order: Press of the Salem Gazette. I don’t think the newspaper can be the publisher. Such headings seldom seem to be established, so you don’t find much help in the NAF. If you eventually find variety in the usage of the name and decide it does not represent an actual change in the organization’s name, it may make sense to create an authority for it. While I am in NACO, I doubt that I’ve ever actually created a national-level authority for such an organization.

Now that I think about it, I believe Deborah Leslie said there was a rule about it somewhere, but I couldn’t find it in DCRM(b) just now.

Deborah, sorry if I’m misattributing something to you.

Subject: [DCRM-L] Newspaper press as printer

Hello all:
I am cataloging in DCRM(B) a guidebook to Salem, Massachusetts, published by Henry P. Ives in 1880, and I am seeking guidance on handling a tracing for the printer.

The printer's statement on the verso of the title-page reads: "Press of the Salem Gazette."  Would one consider the newspaper to be the printer?  If so, would it be appropriate to use the title in a 730 as an access point?  Or is there some other convention in place for a case like this?

The printer of the newspaper at that time does not appear to be named in OCLC.
Thank you,
Kaelin Rasmussen
