1.5.4.10 When the relationship between a statement of responsibility and a title is not clear, a
linking word or short phrase is added, enclosed in square brackets.
e.g.
Baijun ballads [Sound recording) / [collected] by Chet Williams
Vue de la ville de Rouen [Graphic] / [graveé par] Ch. Lemas
One man in his time [Sound recording] / William Shakespeare ; [read by] Sir John
Gielgud
1.5.4.11 When there is more than one statement of responsibility, the order of these statements in
the description is that indicated by the typography of, or their sequence on, the prescribed source of
information without taking into account the extent or degree of responsibility implied by the various
statements. When the statements are not taken from the prescribed source of information, they should be
given in a logical order if such an order applies, and enclosed in square brackets.
1.5.4.11.1 When the prescribed source of information is composite in character (as in the case of a
multi-media item having no unifying principal source, or the credit sequence of a motion picture), the
statements of responsibility are given in a logical order. Alternatively, the separate parts of the item may
be described following the multi-level method (see Appendix A).
1.5.4.11.2 For sound recordings that have more than one statement of responsibility, the order of
these statements in the description should be arranged so that the different categories of responsibility fall
in a sequence, viz. composer(s) of the music, including persons whose improvisatory roles are deemed
part of the creative process; author(s) of the text; performers in the following order: soloist(s)/actor(s)/
reader(s); chorus; director of the chorus; orchestra; director of the orchestra; director of a dramatic
production; producer of a popular music recording.
1.5.4.12 Parallel titles and parallel statements of responsibility
1.5.4.12.1 When a prescribed source of information bears one or more parallel titles and/or parallel
statements of other title information, but also has statements of responsibility in more than one language
and/or script, each statement of responsibility follows the title or other title information to which it is
linguistically related.
e.g.
Familias norte-americanas [Visual projection] : los De Stefano / colaborador de
educación, Beryl L. Bailey = American families : the De Stefanos / educational
collaborator, Beryl L. Bailey
1.5.4.12.2 When it is not possible to give the appropriate statement of responsibility after each title or
other title information, the statements of responsibility are given together following the last parallel title or
parallel other title information. Each parallel statement of responsibility is preceded by a space, equals
sign, space.
1.5.4.12.3 When a prescribed source of information bears one or more parallel titles and/or parallel
statements of other title information, but the statement of responsibility is in only one language and/or
script, the statement of responsibility is given after the last parallel title or (parallel) other title information
transcribed.
e.g.
Svensk kyrkomusik [Sound recording] = Schwedische Kirchenmusik = Swedish church
music / Vokal- und Instrumentalensemble der Rundfunkchor ; Leitung, Eric Ericson
1.5.4.12.4 When there is no parallel title, but statements of responsibility appear on the prescribed
source of information in more than one language and/or script, the statement in the language and/or script
of the title proper is given; when this criterion does not apply, the statement indicated by the typography of,
