Cataloging CJK sound recordings and moving image materials

Apply AACR2, the LCRIs, MARC 21, and LCSH in conjunction with the following UCSD documents for cataloging CJK sound recordings and moving image materials:

For original inputs, as a general guideline, view the main and concluding titles to provide an accurate 245 title proper transcription, statement of responsibility and date of issue. The director and producer-and in some cases the screenwriter, main cinematographer, main editor, and composer of music-are generally the most important people involved in the production. Give their names and functions in a 508 note if not already in the subfield c of the 245. Don't do further research if the container or credits fail to list all the people working in these roles. Give a cast credit (511 note) for the main performers in feature films or narrator for other films. Frequently, for both 508 and 511 notes, you can use the container as a guideline for who is most important, as these are the people the publisher chose to feature. As with cataloging other kinds of materials, your item in hand is the main source, and in most cases it is unnecessary to go beyond it to provide information item with the exception of the 520 summary note when your container lacks enough information.

Modify the instructions in the above documents as follows.
