Information:
When cataloging audiovisual materials, several tags
are available to bring out the special properties
that are a part of the media. The 511
Participant/Performer Note is one of these tags.
This field is primarily used when creating records
for videorecordings, motion pictures, and other
types of graphic materials. This field is used to
identify key people associated with the title, such
as the narrator, lead actors, or lead musicians.
AACR2 covers the Participant or Performer Note in
rule 7.7B6. RDA 2.17.3.5 provides guidelines on
entering other information relating to the statement
of responsibility instructing to include a word or
short phrase to clarify the role of the person if
necessary for clarity.
Only one subfield is used when entering the 511
tag. It contains the name(s) or group of names with
their function, the role played, or a short phrase
describing their participation in the production.
The determination as to whether a name(s) is
entered into the 245 statement of responsibility or
the 511 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 511. Do not include names of
people who make only minor contributions to the
work.
