[DCRM-L] binder and binding designer

[Will Evans]

Yes of course. As I outlined below, I use both only when I’m sure the
binder is also the designer, whether explicitly stated on the resource or
gleaned from authoritative sources. This is not uncommon with artists’
books. I was not suggesting that a publisher’s binding signed by Margaret
Armstrong is an indication that she was also the binder.



Best,

Will

I'm not so sure of this. It means that the use of both terms will be the
default when the entity is simply characterized as "binder" or "bound by",
even though it may not in fact be the case that it was the binder who did
originated the design. Unless the source states explicitly that the binding
has been designed and executed by a single entity, I'd simply go with
"binder" alone when that's all that I've been told.



The real function of "binding designer" is, I think, to designate a
designer whose work is realized by someone else. I use it most frequently
for the stated or otherwise known designers of publisher or edition
bindings.

Thank you Will and David. I will use both terms, as you suggest.



I suppose this is similar to repeating subfield $e for a single entity
functioning as printer and publisher.

I’ve used both. It hadn’t occurred to me not to do so, if  I have been sure
that the person is responsible for both tasks.

RBMS relationship designators include terms for “binder” and for “binding
designer.” Presumably, the first of these does the labor, the second
conceives of the design.



When I trace the name of a person who has executed a fine binding (design
and labor), should I use both terms? If just one, which?
