I have a few comments on the Collection-Level Cataloging appendix, which
I think overall is very good. Since I was not in the meetings at
the conference, maybe some of these points have already been discussed,
but these are the things that stood out to me in reading the draft:<br>
<br>
D.a) 1XX field: Main entry heading.<br>
I think this would be clearer if the second example, 110 Austria, was
moved up under the first paragraph.<br>
<br>
D.f) 351 field<br>
Second example should use |b, for arrangement of items, rather than |a,
which is for organization of series.<br>
<br>
D.h) 5XX fields<br>
<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>5) 505
field: "Assign a number on each item...and write it on each
item." Would be good to specify: "...and write it on
<x-tab> </x-tab>each item in
pencil in an area not obscuring text."<br>
<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>540, Terms
Governing Use and Reproduction, could be added, eg for notes about
copyright or about physical
<x-tab> </x-tab>restrictions on
reproduction of fragile materials.<br>
<br>
I also noticed a few typos:<br>
<br>
Section D, first paragraph: remove italics from "supplemented by use
of ".<br>
<br>
D.h)4). 520 field<br>
"A summary note may be used in addition to or in lieu of a 505
contents note" appears twice in this paragraph. I think the
first one should be deleted and leave as third sentence.<br>
<br>
D.k) 856 field<br>
Add space: "prepared for the <b>collection or"<br>
