[DCRM-L] Examples of "Curator" in agent to item relationship?

[Erin Blake]

I guess "curator" could be an item-specific relationship if you go far
enough down the rabbit hole: we have a field in our Acquisitions module
where we record the curator responsible for deciding a collection item
should be acquired (an issue because it's often mistaken for the curator
whose budget it came from, but it's the intellectual contribution we're
documenting; the financial contribution is recorded elsewhere). That field
could, in theory, be part of the MARC record in the OPAC.
