CCM13.8. Editors notes (Field 500)

13.8.1. When to give (AACR2 12.7B7)
Editors are not given in the statement of responsibility (AACR2 12.1F3) but may be given in a note. Restrict such notes to cases in which the same editor has been responsible for most of the serial or for editors that are better known than the title of the serial (AACR2 12.7B7) and an added entry will be given. Remember that persons prefaced by words such as "compiled by," "prepared by," etc. are also usually treated as editors (see Module 6).
13.8.2. Form of the note
Begin the note with "Editor:" or "Editors:". When there is more than one editor covering different time spans, give the corresponding dates preceding the name. Give the name as it appears on the piece.
500 ## $a Editors: 1975-1984, Howard Johnson; 1985-1991, G.L. Jones.
