Subject: State Farm Road Atlas/main entry/publisher
Sender: Gayle Porter <[log in to unmask]>
Hello all,
I'm cataloging a title, State Farm Road Atlas: U.S., Canada, Mexico;
copyright 2002 by Rand McNally. The issues are what shd be described as the
main entry, and also the publisher. The same paragraph that has the
copyright info. also has Rand M's address and website address. I found no
other mention of Rand M. in the atlas. The State Farm Insurance co. logo is
on every page as far as I can see; plus the first page has a form letter
from State Farm Insurance cos. (U.S. and Canadian offices) to the customer.
I suspect that Rand McNally produced the atlas and State Farm is both
distrbuting the atlas & using it as an advertising platform. BTW, the oclc
records I've seen for other editions/similar cases just have title main
entry with 710s for both State Farm and Rand McNally, but I wonder about the
quality of these records. In my case, it seems better to do a title main
entry and describe State Farm as the publisher/distributor. Your feedback
is welcome.
Thanks.
