Here are some comments on Juliet's newest version of the single sheet
publications rules.The proposed rules are at
<<a href="http://www.lib.byu.edu/~catalog/people/rlm/bsc/dcrb/singlerules.htm" eudora="autourl">http://www.lib.byu.edu/~catalog/people/rlm/bsc/dcrb/singlerules.htm</a>>,
by the way.<br>
<br>
A. I believe this came up at BSC. I am a bit puzzled by the requirement
not to transpose in 0D. Why is prescribed punctuation used only if there
is no necessity for transposition? I don't understand this, nor do I
understand why we are forbidden to transpose with single sheet
publications where we are not with, e.g., books.<br>
<br>
B. Should there be a requirement to note the source of the title?
E.g.:<br>
<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>1A5. Give
in a note the source of the title.<br>
<br>
C. In 1A3 we are told not to omit any of the first six words of the text
in abridging. In 1A2 we are to transcribe the first *five* words of the
text under certain circumstances. Why not six here, too?<br>
<br>
D. In 1C2 we are told to "treat that statement according to the
rules for other monographic publications"--i.e., transpose? What are
you getting at here? If you mean transpose, does this contradict
0D?<br>
<br>
E. 2A1. Needs a space between read and unfolded. Also, I suggest you
separate the examples from their captions. I thought at first that the
300 field was supposed to read: <br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>300<x-tab> </x-tab>1
sheet, printed on both sides, unnumbered: 1 sheet ([2] p.)<br>
<br>
Instead, the rule should read something like:<br>
<br>
<i>Examples: 1 sheet, printed on both sides, unnumbered:<br>
</i><x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>300<x-tab> </x-tab>1
sheet ([2] p.)<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab><i>1
sheet, printed on both sides, numbered:<br>
</i><x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>300<x-tab> </x-tab>1
sheet (2 p.)<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>etc.<br>
<br>
F. 2A3. Why are rolls suddenly being introduced here? They aren't
mentioned anywhere else. <br>
<br>
G. Glossary, definition for "sheet"--why limit to paper,
parchment, or vellum? What about tapa cloth, cloth, or plastic sheets?
How about this: "Sheet: a single piece of paper, parchment, vellum,
or other material with manuscript or printed matter on one or both sides,
paginated or unpaginated. ..."<br>
