Information:
Audiovisual materials add several unique tags to
the MARC record because of many of the unusual
properties that are a part of the media. One of the
tags that provide additional information for
audiovisual items is the 508 Creation/Production
Credits Note. The group of people responsible for
the "behind the scenes" work are acknowledged in
this tag. This field is primarily used when
creating records for videorecordings, motion
pictures, and other types of graphic materials.
AACR2 covers the Credits Note in rule 7.7B6.
RDA provides guidelines on recording information
relating to the statement of responsibility in 2.17.3.5.
Only one subfield is used when entering the 508. It
contains the name(s) or group of names preceded by
their function.
The determination as to whether a name(s) is
entered into the 245 statement of responsibility or
the 508 credits note will depend on how prominently
displayed the name(s) is on the item. If the
name(s) is part of the chief source of information,
it can be entered as part of the 245 statement of
responsibility. However, if the name(s) is not part
of the chief source of information it can be
entered into the 508 tag. Do not include names of
people who have made only minor contributions to
the work. Enter voice-over narrators into a 508 tag
while on-screen narrators are entered into a 511
tag. Generally, name(s) in the 508 are not traced
in added entries.
