FYI and call for participants,

The Rare Materials Catalogers Directory
<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Frbms.info%2Fcatalogersdirectory%2F&data=04%7C01%7Ccrowleyp5%40southernct.edu%7Cb78a466064224ea7561708d9e65eced3%7C58736863d60e40ce95c60723c7eaaf67%7C0%7C0%7C637794119613701206%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=VUC7ZOGTuDTW9UHHIQ0VpBHahn17Cxk0P8m3Cnaj4wU%3D&reserved=0>
is an online listing of catalogers and metadata creators who work closely
with rare materials.

Developed by the RBMS Bibliographic Standards Committee, the Directory is
designed to connect anyone seeking guidance on intellectual access to rare
materials with catalogers who have deep experience in the area.

Their entries can include information about experience with a specific form
of material, age, region, or subject, as well as their institution’s OCLC
symbols and MARC organization codes.

Anyone with questions about the organization and description of rare
materials, about topics like the transformation of metadata during
digitization or supplies and housing, is encouraged to visit the directory,
browse the entries by category or name, and reach out to a friendly
cataloger who has volunteered to share their knowledge.

Also, if you are yourself involved in providing access to rare materials,
we highly encourage you to become a part of the directory and fill out the
form at: https://rbms.info/catalogersdirectory/

The directory is open to all metadata workers with rare materials
experience, not just RBMS members.



Thank you for your attention, and apologies for crossposting,
