interesting about this post is that the SAA president uses "DACS" while our SAA
liaison pro tempore told us specifically that it was "DA:CS."

official SAA standard, DACS has already replaced APPM. Council voted in
February to approve DACS as the professional standard for archival
descriptive content. Each archival repository should begin the transition
to the new guidelines as soon as feasible. Compliance with the new
standard is, of course voluntary, and there will be no archival cataloging
police to enforce it. Those repositories participating in network systems
or utilities such as OCLC or RLIN should seek guidance from the network
administrators.<BR></FONT><BR><FONT face=arial color=#000080
