⮚Government printers recorded as publisher
A government printer named on the piece is recorded as the publisher when there is no evidence that its function is not that of a publisher or distributor. If, however, another body appears prominently on the piece and the government printing office is named only in a less prominent position, it is probable that the office is functioning only as a printer and that the body is the publisher (LC-PCC PS for 2.9.1.1).
⮚Shortening and omitting part of the name of the publisher.
RDA and CONSER practice is to transcribe the name of the publisher as it appears on the piece or preferred source. Recording abbreviations or recording only part of the name of the publisher should be avoided. This differs from AACR2 practice. (CCM: 10.2.2d)
⮚Omitting/Retaining Preceding Words.
Words solely indicating publishing function are unnecessary because of the placement of the information in the publishing statement. But preceding words that imply something other than publishing or when two statements are grammatically linked to one another are retained and recorded.
