I'm speaking as someone who had taken a "library volunteer's
short course" who has forgotten a lot of stuff already.

AFAIK, 100c is *not* mandatory. {100,110,111}a (not c) is,
and it is not true that "true biblios" require a 100a (or 100c).
If the author of the book *is* an organization (e.g., books
written by a committee, lots of such books in China I was told),
there is only 110a, no 100a.

(This is what I have been taught. It is US MARC iirc. Some
librarian on the list can correct me :-)

Best regards,
