Display the Full Title (245) including Statement of Responsibility
Displaying the full title (245) including the statement of responsibility (subfield ǂc) will help users identify additional contributors associated with a title.
There are also sometimes additional titles within this part of the field. Subfield ǂc includes all information following the first slash.
Examples:
The point less taken / ǂc Geoffrey Young. Some trees / Lucas Reiner.
Shock shop. ǂn Volume one, ǂp Something in the woods, in the dark / ǂc written by Cullen Bunn ; art by Danny Luckert ; letters by Nate Piekos of Blambot. Familiars / written by Cullen Bunn ; art by Leila Leiz ; colors by Bill Crabtree ; letters by Nate Piekos of Blambot.
Gou gou de lü cheng : ǂb [wei le yu ni xiang yu nuan xin xu zuo] / ǂc Bulusi Kamailong zhu ; Xie Jiazhen yi = A dog's journey / W. Bruce Cameron.
Subfield ǂh (General material designation) can be removed, but without removing any ISBD punctuation following subfield ǂh.
The title with subfield ǂc included should be displayed at the individual title level, not the rollup level. This part of the field will between titles within rollups--just like series, edition, and contributors.

There are many examples of when the name of an author/contributor as pictured on the item, listed in the 245 $c, is different from the version in the authorized 1xx or 7xx field. As such, the 245 $c needs to be indexed for searching, since that is what patrons are more likely to search by - they have no idea about authorized versions of names in LC, much less what they would be for any given author/contributor. Additionally, a recent example illustrated to us that even when they are very close to what the authorized name is, they could still miss finding what they need - searching "AJ Pearce" as pictured on the item doesn't retrieve the same results as when searching "A. J. Pearce", which is the authorized version. A patron wouldn't know this.
