CC:DA/MLA/2011/2 Change to RDA 7.24 and Glossary, Artistic and/or Technical Credit

Abstract

Music catalogers have traditionally recorded information on music producers and engineers deemed to be significant in a note, according to AACR2 rule 6.7B6, Statements of Responsibility. Such information has been accommodated in MARC field 508 $a, Creation/Production Credits Note. Furthermore, music catalogers have often found it prudent to trace the names of producers and engineers in added entries, for enhanced access. As presently written, RDA 7.24 restricts the recording of this information to motion pictures and video recordings, thereby limiting catalog users’ access to this information in the realm of sound recordings.
