you Bob, and Deborah and Manon. I have felt the need for such a list ever since
a similar list to which I subscribed went out of existence in the 1990's. I
admit to not being one of the more active members, but I still find the
discussion worthwhile and helpful, and consider myself privileged to
be a part of it.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=703430022-21082006><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since DCRM(B)'s
publication is imminent (yay!), Deborah, Manon, and I have been thinking about
DCRM-L and suggest a slight change of focus. We propose that the list now be
open to rare materials cataloging questions and discussions in general rather
than only specifically focussing on the rule revision process (though that
discussion will continue as necessary--we still have the other modules to
publish!). This has already started to happen a bit--we have from time to time
had people write in with cataloging questions. I think the three of us just
wanted to make clear that we think that is fine and hope we'll be able to use
the list to help folks with specific problems and promote rare materials
cataloging generally. We hope this change of focus will be welcome. The list
members are a great resource, and a narrowly tailored list devoted to
rare cataloging issues might be more useful to some than the rather free
wheeling range of topics that come up on the other rare materials related
lists.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
