Last Updated 05/11/2023
Each catalog record may include only one 1XX field for a creator.
Be sure that any person or corporate body listed in the 1XX field is a creator or co-creator of the entire resource.
If one person can not be said to have created or co-created all aspects of a resource, do not list anyone in 1XX. In this case, the 1st indicator for the 245 field should always be "0".
Examples:
Music recordings, especially pop music
Videorecordings
Collections by more than one author (of essays, short stories, etc.)
If a resource has more than one creator, list the first creator in the 1XX field and all other creators in 7XX fields.
Every contributor should have only one 700 field (as appropriate) that may list several relationship designators ($e) for each person.
Examples:
700 1 Barron, Mia, $e author, $e narrator.
700 1 Wilber, Ellen, $e author, $e singer.
The names of authors and other important creators and contributors found in the 245 field and in the 1XX and/or 7XX fields may not match one another.
If a resource has a fictional author (e.g. Kermit the frog), list that fictional creator in the 1XX and all other creators in 7XX fields.

Note: The NC Cardinal Cataloging Best Practices officially designates RDA as the preferred bibliographic content standard. Per the current RDA Toolkit (9.0 & PCC/LC PS), the names of fictional entities are established as creators/contributors and occupy the main authorized access point (1xx tag). As changes are made to the RDA Toolkit, the Cataloging Committee will update the best practices to reflect those changes and update training materials as necessary.

Collections of multiple works by multiple creators (e.g. a book of essays) can benefit from the use of an enhanced contents note (505 tag, indicators 00), which can provide better access to names and titles without requiring the use of multiple 7XX fields.
NC Cardinal has an automated linking script that should be running nightly to provide the links to existing authority records and a quarterly Marcive update to provide new authority records, so catalogers should not need to validate authority links.
