Hello
 
I think with music its quite common for the maker of a record to be
distinct from the publisher of the music; the distributer is often
distinct as well. And what about producers and engineers? :) I guess
sorting out depends on how you use 'Roles'.

        Hi Ella -
         
        These are the Roles that we use in TMS:
        Contributor
        Copyright Holder
        Manufacturer
        Primary Maker
        Publisher
        Secondary Maker
        Source
        Subject Associated
        Subject Depicted/About
         
        I use mainly the Display Suffix field to explain the role of the
person or organization.  For example:
         
        Primary Maker: Andy Warhol (artist)
        Secondary Maker: Rupert Jason Smith (printer)
        Subject Depicted/About: Julia Warhola (depicted)
         
        If your question is about a phonograph record, and the role of
the Record Company which published it - for all of the phonograph
records in our collection, I have the Record Company's listed as
publishers.
        Publisher: Elektra/Asylum Records (publisher)
         
        I think it is correct according to the library MARC format, to
list Record Company's in the Role of "Publisher", although it's possible
that in the Display Suffix field - they should be listed as
"distributor" instead of "publisher".  
         
        Does anyone out there have an opinion about Record Company's as
publishers vs. distributors...?

                We have a Bruce Nauman record in the collection for
which we are trying to come up with an appropriate role for the company
that actually produced the record.  (Bruce Nauman's role is artist).  We
have used maker, manufacturer, and publisher before in TMS, but I'm not
sure that those are appropriate for this case.  I'd appreciate anyone's
suggestions or thoughts on what the object-related roles should be.  
                 
                Thank you,
