<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>
