b) another source within the resource itself
c) one of the other sources of information specified under 2.2.4
How is Publisher's Name Transcribed / Recorded in Resource Description and Access (RDA): Record the publisher's name applying the basic instructions on recording publication statements given under 2.8.1 -- “in the form in which they appear on the source of information.” LC-PCC PS 2.8.4.3 states, “Generally do not omit levels in corporate hierarchy.”
Record words or phrases indicating the function (other than solely publishing) performed by a person, family, or corporate body as they appear on the source of information.

Publisher's Name in More Than One Language or Script: If the name of a publisher appears on the source of information in more than one language or script, record the form that is in the language or script of the title proper. If this criterion does not apply, record the name in the language or script that appears first.
No Publisher Identified in Resource Description and Access (RDA): For a resource in a published form, if no publisher is named within the resource, and cannot be identified from other sources, record [publisher not identified]. Do not record [s.n.] as was done in AARC2 cataloging.
