our part to duplicate the specialized rules for cataloging rare materials as
given in DCRM(B) and its earlier versions; however, we do want to ensure that,
1) a cataloger using RDA for early rare or printed resources receives sufficient
guidance for the exigencies of the material, and 2) arrives at a description
that does not deviate markedly from a description created according to DCRM(B).
We have articulated the need for more precise, faithful, and full transcriptions
and physical description in the introduction to DCRM(B), and will not it repeat
here. We are, however, happy to discuss any questions or issues that arise based
on the needs of the rare materials community of catalogers and users (staff and
patrons</SPAN><FONT face=Verdana size=2> </FONT><SPAN

institutions or individuals have chosen to distinguish from general library

because these items exhibit significant artifactual value. For that reason, we
encourage any mention of early printed resources to include these later "rare"
materials as well. A definition of "rare resources" (or whatever you chose to

is sometimes the case, especially with 19c works (which DCRM(B) was written
specifically to include) that the cover will have more recent publication, etc.,
information than the title page. For example, a pamphlet (with a title page)
might be bound inside a paper wrapper printed with all the information
traditionally found on a title page (title, statement of responsibility, edition
statement, place of publication, publisher, date), but this cover information
will contain an edition statement, publisher, publication date, etc., that is
more recent than what is on the title page. Generally this happens when a
publisher buys out the unsold stock of another publisher and reissues it in a
new cover while keeping the old title page. We would like an option for early
and rare printed resources that would allow the cover to be considered a
preferred source in these situations.</SPAN><SPAN
