If a resource has a creator, make sure you search the OCLC authority file to see if a matching name authority record (NAR) for the creator exists. If there is, use it. If not, transcribe the creator’s name in 100 field as a place holder, and then send The PINES Cataloging Specialist all information about the creator from the resource, creator’s Webpages and other reliable online resources, and/or from a local creators themselves.
Choice of a preferred name: If varied forms of the name exist, one with or without middle initials, or fuller form of middle or first names, for example, the preferred name should be one following the book’s title either on title page or cover if there is no title page.
Information needed to create a NAR for a creator:
- The DOB is the most desirable information if available
- Birthplace, places of residence
- Occupation
Access Points for Corporate Bodies (RDA 8.1.2, 19.2.1.1.1)
Corporate Bodies as Creators
A corporate body can be a creator, if the content of its work falls into the following categories (outlined below are some key points; for more detail, check the RDA rule).
- Works of an administrative nature.
- Works that record the collective thought of the body (reports of commissions, committees, etc.).
- Works that record hearings conducted by legislative, judicial, governmental, and other corporate bodies.
- Works that report the collective activity of conference, expedition, an event, exhibition).
- Works that result from the collective activity of a performing group.
- Cartographic works.
- Legal works.
- Named individual works of art by two or more artists acting as a corporate body.
If no NAR exists in OCLC for the corporate body, transcribe it in 110 as a place holder in your bib record and then send all information about it to the PINES Cataloging Specialist: location, date started, any other variant name, major activities, Web page, etc.
Examples:

Make a note to indicate the source of a title proper (RDA 2.17.2.3).
Access Points for Adapters, etc. (RDA 6.27.1.5)
Adaptations and Revisions
You may have to make a judgment call to determine if: </wrap>
The resource in hand is a new work derived from another work?
Or
Is it simply a revision of an existing work?
If the resource is considered a new work, use the adapter as preferred name access point in 100 field.
If an adaptation or revision of an existing work substantially changes the nature and content of that work, treat the adaptation or revision as a new work. Making an author-added entry for the original creator is optional.
