size=2>Since we're discussing how people use core, the only reason I sometimes
code a DCRB record core is if I do not want to supply a call number, i.e., if
the record is for a pamphlet or broadside and we're just going to put it in an
accession number arrangement here. Everything else about the record is full, but
the availability of DCRB Core allows me to contribute the record as a PCC Bibco
record without adding a call number. I don't do this very often (if the call
number is very simple to construct I'll often add one anyway even though we're
not going to use it at BYU and then I code the record as PCC full). So when I
use core I'm not particularly thinking of how I might pare down the record; it
just allows me to contribute a record without including one of the required
fields for book core (the call number).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I haven’t read
Windy’s study yet, but I’d like to comment about the fact that a lot of
records coded “core” actually meet standards for full level. I’ve
experimented with using the DCRB core standard for some of my books, with
the addition of a signature statement. When I do this, I often start
out coding for core, with the best of intentions, but end up adding a note
or two I hadn’t planned on (because it’s easy, or because I’m lacking in the
requisite self-discipline), and then I find myself wondering whether I’ve
reached full level. It seems easy to know when you’ve fulfilled the
requirements for core, but somehow harder to recognize when you’ve passed
beyond core to full level, probably because the requirements for full-level
vary, depending on the book in hand. I actually find this to be a
problem with using the DCRB core standard. Maybe I just need to review the
books core standards, and keep more clearly in mind all the ways they differ
from full level. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Further,
eliminating optional notes in the DCRB (or DCRM(B)) standard should not
technically affect whether cataloging is full-level or not, should it?
Yet eliminating optional notes is one of the main recommendations of the
DCRB core standard. I wonder how many rare book catalogers may code a
record “4” as a way of letting colleagues know that options have not been
taken; that is, the record may be technically full level, but falls
far short of the treatment they would like to give the book. That’s
not what the DCRB standard is for, yet I myself feel tempted to use it that
way.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
